Hello there,

Thank you very much for the great advice and guidance.

It does grieve me to move this tree if it means it's demise. I think the original planters of it where a bit thoughtless of it's location and the fact that it is actually part of a car parking space within a courtyard area. But, of course, I shouldnt blame them, perhaps they had their own ideas as to the use of the space at their own property! It's just such a shame. I will be planting a new sapling at the location I have suggested now, seeing as there seems little chance of successfully replanting this without going to massive expense.

Thanks again.

Terry
