Hahaha I think that would freak anyone out! Jeepers :blink:

Well well. I had half of the day spent on the tree just trying to get as many roots as possible. The biggest problem was tho, that the I had to first remove a big pice of cement and then there was a lot of trouble going through that soil. Due that wattering was not done well arround the tree, the soil ended up in rock like pieces. It took me well over 2 hours to get it out. With many roots lost. Will post the pictures in a moment.

Awesome stuff! looking forward to seeing the pics. Shame man thats dedication

So.
Here they are:

After digging up the Tree are the Roots, as expected root system was very deep in the Ground and therefore had a hard time to get deep enough. Because the roots where Fragile the deeper ones brocke of wile Digging.

Pic 6) Unfortunately when moving the Pot I Accidentally Ripped an Branch of, Instantly i saw what I could do with it and put it right in to water for Routing. this should work Better.

So now i just have to wait and see what happens, i hope that the Warm weather is helping the routing.
Also should i put this more in the Shade? due that the tree likes both Shade and Sun.

I am going to go have a Look at some Nurseries to find some Plants that i could start a bit more earlier than the Tree.
Lets see what I can get Tomorrow, and hope all the Best for the Tree.

Woah! Thats a thick piece of concrete!! Make sure to water the plant often as it seems there aren't many fine roots. I would defoliate the tree by 1/3 to reduce water loss through the leaves.. Thats quite a big plant you pulled out! Maybe look at the nursery for something called superthrive lots of my friends use it after collecting trees from the wild, it helps revive the tree. Its a plant food and vitamin hormone used to boost plants under stress. Apparently everyone swears by it.

Helping you hope that was not too much abuse there..

The main concern for the plant nof is moisture. All else is irrelevant. You have removed all the plants capacipty to take up water, without which is may die in a matter of days. So.. Avoid anything which costs the plant water: keep the plant out of the wind, out of the sun, and very very most (you may consider putting a plastic bag losely over the plant the first few days).

And as suggested above: Reduce the foliage. Consider wehther just chopping the top half off is going to be a problem for your final design. If not, do this, and seal the wound with special paint for cut trees.
