By the way, Tom Brantley in Ocala salvaged quite a number from
a campus
construction site recently. You might see what he's doing with
them and
what his success rate is.


Thanks, Jay.

I don't have any choice as to when I dig this -- it's the last
week in December or never. :-/ I think I'll rig up a large cold
frame for it when it gets up to chilly N. Fla.

I have one podocarpus (a workshop tree) that's been doing OK in a
training pot for 4-5 years now, but it does have a base that
looks like an onion. I've been slowly carving away at it and so
far so good.

Tom Brantley was who told me to chop most of the foliage, so I
guess I'll follow his advice.

My other podo digs were in summer and were spur-of-the-moment
things and I didn't have the right equipment, soil, or pots, so
it's probably no surprise that they lingered a while then
expired.

I'll post pics on the gallery showing the whole thing -- good,
bad or disastrous.
