Jubea move...

[quaman58]

Hey all,

I have a Jubea, grown from seed that is about 3-1/2 feet tall, with a trunk base of maybe 6 inches or so. I planted it years ago in a raised planter bed, where not much would grow because of nearby neighbor's pine trees.  Fortunately, the pines are now gone, and since I'm replacing a railroad tie wall with a more permanent block wall, I figure now's the time. Anyone with experience in moving these? Now all I have to do is figure out a place to put it, ha ha.

I had no problem moving one of mine!!

Seems to be a very easy to move species. (at least when smaller) I originally planted seeds in an in ground community bed, then moved strap leaf seedlings to individual 1 gallon pots without incident. Still have several of those still growing,now in 15 gallon pots. Does look like another viable species choice for Arizona,as a major local nursery has also started importing them; a dozen at a time.

Mine was probably a 5gal had been in the ground a year or so when I got a larger one so I moved the smaller one so I could replace it with the larger one!!!!!!
