This would ideally be the best, and safest option.


Sorry as I said in the OP not trying was not an option all other avenues
explored.

Well folks thanks for the advice the dirty deed has been done, got down
about 2 1/2 feet curled roots around new pot. Pot filled with 1" of gravel
covering the holes + 1" of sand/gravel mix, tree and shrub compost
and screened topsoil. When I originally planted it I used the curve back of
the pot to keep the roots from the comcrete slab. We selected a tree which
had been grown in the back of the pot to get close to the fence.

Its gets no sun where it is at the moment (apart from to leaves), its
getting watered twice a day and misted, dug up last sunday morning so four
and a half days so far, leaves are limp but after watering they are more
turgid.
