Kept damp you will be very surprise how it is going to bounce back. All three look like fun digs -and done nicely. Noticed the snow piles This area of the Commonwealth is at a point that the snow is all gone 
Thanks for the vote of confidence Grimmy. How'd your monster dig go??Honest - that root cutting on the Wisteria just tickled it
Grimmy
I guess that'll help get rid of that tummy you were complaining aboutPeople tend to take the word "invasive" lightly
Here is a quick look at the before and after on the yew. As is the tub and stump are a little over 200 pounds but it went well.

Good luck with that!
Interesting...so one can take cuttings without dealing with an air layer...
Yep...I'm sure it's a timing thing....spring. When I did it we were tearing out the wild native from an oak tree it was killing along the lake, chainsawing up the larger vines. Someone helping made the suggestion...so I gave it a try....nothing to lose. It's an American Wisteria, which gives it the distinction of leafing out before it blooms, partially hiding its blossoms. On a small scale, not very spectacular, however, there is a large one locally that has climbed into and killed a very large oak tree. It has used the dead trees branch structure to fill it out completely. Kind of a giant tanuki. When it blooms the prolific flowers hang from the dead branches where they are entirely visible. It close to 40 feet high and magnificent. Probably won't bloom this year due to the extreme winter.
