The only good thing is that cutting it at the base won't be too
difficult if I do it now.


Happy New Year.

Eddy.




Don't cut it at the base, cut it about 4 feet up. Dig round the root ball
cutting as many roots as possible and use the 4 foot length of trunk as a
lever :-)) If there is room, you can lever from the left, 'pass it over',
lever from the right etc and the lever does most of the work :-)
