When you say the rock is solid, what leads you to think the roots go down that far  |
WHen i try to move the trees with my hand, i feel there is no way to manage taking them out; these damn trees do not seem to move at all.
I have studies the crack patterns on other rocks in the area and i feel that due to lots of undercuts and several smaller cracks at the bottom of the bigger ones, it would be very difficult if not impossible to take the tree out without leaving back most of the root system.
I will try what you said though, and will let you know.
Thanks.
