[QUOTE="M.D. Vaden, post: 580349, member: 3005"] In college, the department head of the landscape program gave me a 20' to 25' tall weeping giant sequioa. It was in a large metal pot in his woods. I don't remember why exactly, but the day we move the tree, was the day it had to be moved. It had a sort of tap root that went through a hole in the bottom. Anyhow, to get the root cut and tip the pot, it ended up being moved bare-root, all the way from Portland's far east suburb over to Beaverton, a west suburb. 85 degree day. Used anti-transpirant, washed a mud around the roots and cabled it into position. No discoloring, or foliage loss. It did great. I've used the product ever since when I felt it would help. Especially with arborvitae in the warm season. [/QUOTE]
