    I inherited it from HD family estate an we just pulled it out with the truck. I sure love the results.
    Hope you do also.

    That's a beauty Barb! You pulled it out with the truck? Isn't that plant abuse? ;)

    Thanks Kuntrygirl an Netty,

    Yes Plant abuse. More like frusteration trying to dig it with a shovel.

    I am tickled with it.
    Free.

    What a wonderful rescue! I have seen so many rhodies die or be slowly tortured in vacanat lots before revitalization of the downtown core. Glad you gave it a home.

    Glad that the truck was able to pull it out :-o without injury.

    It really looked horrible when we seen it . A huge tree was over it an was not getting light. I thought it was worth trying.

    Glad I did..
