I just bought quite a large (2.5 metres tall)
Magnolia Grandiflora very cheaply (12.50 euro = £10)
from my favourite garden centre
(Murphy & Wood, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland)
and am wondering how to get it out of its large plastic container?

Incidentally, the expert at the centre said it was a myth
that magnolia couldn't stand lime.
He said it would grow more or less anywhere in this region,
admittedly fairly acid as there is granite underneath.
