My father dug one up for me - it was huge and most of teh roots got chopped
off. I moved it three times before sticking it near the fence to keep the
children from throwing stones over teh edge. We were both sure that it was
dead but it has just sprouted - I didn't really prune it, just cut it to
shape a little and watered like mad. They are very tough.
