I really like it dave. It's a bit tall, but you're right, the trunk has nice movement and the roots are too good to just air layer off. Nice find, please post again when it's in leaf!

When you collect trees, do you dig a hole a certain diameter around the tree and just cut the roots with the shovel at that point, or what? I've never really collected and plan to, so tips would be great.
