from his backyard to his front yard. Me and one other neighbor.

I wish I had a video of this tomfoolery. The thing was so heavy, we axed off about two thirds of the root ball, and had to roll it over onto a wheelbarrow, then lift it up. About fifteen feet through the grass and the wheelbarrow collapsed.

I was trying not to laugh because these two guys were trying really hard.

No way that tree survives in its new location.

I also patiently await the response from Lady Asshat.

If they just water the p1ss out of it for a month I bet it will be fine. Those things are pretty danged hardy.

True story: Back in the early 90's when HUGO blew thru SC, my m-i-l had a couple palmettos keeled over on her place. The root ball was completely exposed. Those things not only survived, but the trunks made a 90 degree turn and are now like big "L" shaped things and thriving. Weird.
