    So a friend of mine who lives around the corner from me is re-developing his garden. It is really tiny. A patch of grass, some patio and some mini borders.
    He had this Trachy but it was taking up too much space, and didn't fit with his new scheme, so he offered it to me. For free.
    So I went there this afternoon and we managed to walk it to my place using his garden service trolly.
    Now I just have to see where I am going to shoe-horn it into my raised beds.

        Thanks.
        Now I need my friend to come and help me plant it.
        It is way too heavy for me to lift on my own.

          It looks a lot smaller than in the pot.
          Hopefully it won't take too long to get going.
