I've been digging up douglas firs, maples and several other trees for about six months with seemingly adequate success. I was using solid composted for needles and drowned a few trees in the winter. I've switched over to half perlite and half diotomaceous earth and the immediate failures have gone way down.
I have just been given the chance to dig out a 30 + hinoki that is about six feet tall and looks good in my opinion. It is planted in a residential lawn.
I am probably going to dig it out by hand and reciprocating saw.
It is so jumbo that I will probably put it in a big wooden box in my yard to recover and then think about pots later.
I'd appreciate thoughts and advice for how to get enough roots out of the ground and how to help this tree recover.
