    How big is it?

      He's just said!!  2.5 tall   Roots 50 x 40 cms. I think I'd signicantly widen the hole on one side and put a slope there...... you should then be able to lean it over and drag it up the slope you've created.

    So might you Geoff:-)

    Put a picture up if you can?

    Me being stupid would probably try and just lift it out as 40 by 50 root ball is not that big. It's getting a good hold on it that's the problem!!
