Well it was worth the effort. Looks good. What size pot did you move it out of?

I think its a 3g pot. I had a heck of a time getting it out. I had to damn near beat the pot to death on all sides before I could get it out. Cut off half the root ball and trimmed leaves. I figured putting it in a 12" pot, I shouldnt need to repot it for a few yrs, hopefully!

Oh, it'll probably just grow that much faster and bigger! Than you will only be able to break it out of the pot and use shovels as tongs to handle it. Ha ha.
