Dug this up yesterday, lady wanted it out of her yard because she wanted to pave it over. Barely has any surface roots (it was in loose sand), but I did preserve all it had. First time digging out something this old, but I had to try to save it.
The plan:
4 weeks of intensive care
I snared it down and I will be misting the foiliage 4-5 times a day and watering the roots once or twice. In a week or two, I’ll give it some seaweed extract to help root development.
Stage 2 (week 5 till winter)
I’m putting it against a north facing wall so she can get morning sun. I’m going to tie it to a pole in the ground (for wind protection) and I’m spanning clear plastic over it, to create a mini green house (leaving the roots outside of the “green house”). Misting the foliage in the morning (and maybe evening?). Watering the roots every morning.
Winter
Lift it of the ground, wrap the box in bubble wrap and mulch the top of the substrate and pray.
