Hello Friends, My neighbour has a big pyracantha that he wants to do away with and which I can extract. It has already been chopped down this summer.
The trunk is about 5 inches and must quite thick even after say 30 cm into the ground. Not easy to dig that deep for me or even the local gardeners I spoke to. So I think I would have to cut the tap root using a saw a few inches below the ground level.
I was wondering g if it will be a good idea to remove the soil from nearby region and fill with light compost so that it is easy to work in spring when the ground is still too cold.
Also can I apply the air layering techniques to the tap root itself, a few inches below the ground. Please advise.
