Hi all. A landscaper I met recently is taking out a crabapple tomorrow and has offered it to me. I have not seen it yet, but his account it is, "...probably 12in or more at the flare." I have asked for a picture, but since it free I'm taking it anyway. Our agreement is to give him a piece of any profits IF I sell any. My question is, how short should we chop it, and how much of a rootball will I "safely" need? I assuming it it 20ish+ feet tall. And based on what I see around here, either straight and somewhat boring or gnarly from storm damage etc. Is it going to be a waste of time, is it "safe" to take something that size? They grow like weeds around here, and are waking up from winter right now. Not leafed out but buds are very close to bursting.
I have never collected anything that size before. I have plenty of space to put it in the ground for a couple years, plenty of lumber to make a box if needed. I am also not afraid to say not this time.
