Oh come on Juds... man up! :p:p:D:D
She's not the only one who would like something a touch smaller.
I wouldn't mind one. But they're HUGE! So am I but buying a decent pot for one would be expensive for me.
But good Lord if a huge one is all a guy can get then a huge one it is.

I am excited for this! Could not resist and bought one of these beauties!! Below are a couple of pics of the one I purchased. I am planning to drop it into my new grow out area and leave it there for a while to heal scars, thicken new branches, etc. Stickroot will be shipping it this Monday! More to come.

Thanks guys! It should be a fun but also challenging project. This is some of the best deciduous material I have seen in a very long time. Cmeg1, you have a great tree! And in the end you may be the one laughing when I end up in the hospital from a hernia or broken back while you happily clip and trim your tree! :p

Duuude, that thing is so cool. And uh, huge!


Yes, but be mindful that without the big rootball it will only be 10 feet tall!? :D:p


Seriously I don't think it's that big. The rootball makes it look huge. Like when they tell you to stretch your arms out so you look bigger when confronted with a grizzly bear. Yeah you know that type of thing. :p

I am pretty excited as well! I have great faith in the development of this tree in your care.
This is going to be lots of FUN!

They Are shipped as freight in a crate and to get the price down they can go as LTL if you can wait a few days so I can find you the right one.

All you need is a loading dock and a fork lift to unload, right?

The trucking company sets these on the ground with a Tommy gate.
@Walter Pall had this figured out years ago, but nobody wants to be in a class with Walter Pall. Right?image.jpeg
