Thanks much, Hammertree. I’ll take a look this evening on my way home… maybe the dog will get a walk! There’s a huge Doug fir that I can see from my front door, so it’s probably just west of there. I’m excited to take a look, because I’d really like a nice “specimen tree” to provide shade in the front of my house.

When you refer to their “large taproot” – at what tree size would it become a problem to transplant? It is less than 4′ tall now, with a 1/2″ thick “trunk.”
