Hey Mike,
I THOUGHT you had solved those moving problems before...thusly!
Your image brings back bad memories from last Fall. I had an old, collected , tall , Bunjin Am. Larch in a seemingly identical pot. I'd worked on it SEVERAL years! Last fall about Thanksgiving I decide to start putting trees aweay in storage . THE VERY FIRST TREE I PICKED UP was a very large semi-cascade Scots Pine in a big heavy chinese pot ( All I can lift and walk with) . As I passed this tree with it I felt the cascade brush the tree and turned to watch it spinning around on the bench ( Like a quarter spinning on a table) then watch it slowly fall and the pot hit a brick walk edge and break the pot and a main branch off the tree. I sat the big cascade down, quickly found the only pot I had that would fit the tree root ball ( An oval!) and potted it up. I just let the Scots pine sit on the ground and went inside and sat down and fumed for a few hours. !
It seems like stuff like that happens to everyone just a little too often!!
