        Diging`s the easy bit, its the squashing it into my classic mini that would be the tear inducing bit. :rolleyespink:

            Nice find WeeTam, it's close to me but I don't have such a big roofrack :)

            About 18 months ago I dug up a slightly smaller (8ft) one and brought it home. Mine hasn't recovered properly yet - not dead but still sulking, I wouldn't fancy tackling another one, it took three of us to lift it into my garden, it's the root ball that really weighs:
