Well here she is, in all her glory. The stand that I built with my neighbor (Heath) turned out great. That thing could hold a house. Its a good thing. Because we found the only way to do this was to pot it in place. The pot was prepared and placed on the stand. Some soil was added, then the tree. Then a lot more soil and finally a long watering. Yep, it’s not going to be moving anywhere for quite some time.

I know it looks like an elephant’s foot, but that is in fact the nebari of the tree. It measures about 24″ around, 6 inches up from the base.
