first i'd like to really thank William over at multiflora, I told him to pick one and he got me a beauty, said that it was a bit yellow but when it got here there was little to no yellowing. there was a 15 gallon bucket in there somewhere but the roots had completely engulfed the thing, it came wrapped up with a very large root ball. I had the hole pre-dug yesterday and we dropped her in and Bill treated her a bit and I started the backfill, it's already completely filled up and looking great.

you can see from the last picture that it's giving a nice bit of shade to that corner .... now to see what likes a bit of shade

it doesn't show since I don't have pictures of the hole but the root ball is close to about 30" deep and 2.5' wide

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

it was heavy but once we got it off the truck it wasn't bad at all, having to get it off in a laying position didn't leave us with many options in getting leverage,it was Bill, my neighbor, and myself. I've moved 8' double kings by myself and I just finished tilling and amending about 600sqft of tough clay with a shovel, turned over 4 times, so i'm lucky that I still have age on my side ....for now. the next couple months is going to be tough on the body since I have another 500sqft to amend and till then need to build my retaining walls/planters with the large 60lb blocks. by the end of the year when most of the heavy duty stuff is out of the way there will be nothing more than to just enjoy.
