Podocarpus

This is a dual-purpose message. All my mssgs for
have been returned to me today with
"unknown user" error messages, so this is a test.

BUT . . .

I need to hear from those who have actually transplanted large
Podocarpus. I've tried it twice now, and failed both times.
I've laid that at the feet of the
"don't-mess-with-the-roots-of-podocarps school, but then I review
the article in BT a year or so ago and they were transplanting
large trees with tiny rootballs and didn't mention to 20% rule
(don't cut more than 20% of the roots) that most books cite.

I have a shot at two "large" (3 feet tall, 9-inch base) this
coming winter, and they're both trees of potential. They've been
growing in VERY sandy ground for 15-20 years.

Someone else told me that clipping all but a few bits of green is
the key to success.

true?

false?

Maybe?

I'll be digging them in the week between Christmas and New Years.
So I Have Time.

So suggestions appreciated (assuming this message makes it).
