I think the chances of a succesful move are approaching zero, they are
famous for not transplanting as large plants and are normally sold quite
small or in containers
Oh well - thanks everyone. We'll probably stick it the local small
ads leaving the buyer responsible for removing and transporting it.
Someone might risk it to get a bargain, but if we get no interest,
I'll see if there's any bits big enough for dad to turn (I suspect
not) before just getting rid of the rest.
It's a shame. We know it's a valuable tree, but it's in just the
wrong place - it's the boys' garden too, and we don't want them to
have to avoid it as they grow up, either by fencing it or through
them learning through painful experience. Actually, being honest,
anywhere in our garden it'd be in the wrong place, but had in not
been in the middle we might have lived with it staying.
