Make sure you have permission to dig the tree, and I assume you do but I may have missed the part of the thread detailing purview.
Yup yup, unlike someone who posted this past month or so (you, vin, giga, frary, jkl, and dave4 know who...
) I have enough of a conscience to get permission to dig in someone's yard. (that and I don't want milehigh tracking me down on the web...little creepy...
) I'm dropping off a nice letter and business card with contact info this week when I drive by again. I'm offering to replace it with new plants, or compensate them monetarily when I dig the plant up. If they say yes, great! If no, oh well, there's more 60's landscape juni around to pick from...
Also when digging into other peoples yard you may want to call miss utility- No tree is worth hitting a water/fiber/electrical line
Good call! I'll have to ask if they know where any of those are relative to the road... I'm guessing I'm safe though, because the driveway is offset from the house, so my guess is that all the utilities are at least 20yrds down the road from this spot near the pole. That, and it looks like this plant's been in the same spot since to 60's. Still, better safe then sorry
