ancient pines

Back from the trip to Scotland......all these trees are old and have been deer and sheep nibbled, when you pull back the branches and carpet of moss some of the trunks are amazing! it was worth a 1200 mile round trip. Problem is the ground is quiet rocky and taking a good root ball was near on impossible as the tap roots ran for ever. I plan to go back and prepare some of the best pines to lift next Spring.
