Some idiot that owned our house before us planted one up against the house and now it's a beast threatening our siding and foundation. Ours is about 6 feet tall and I'm sure has a large root ball to go with it. If you come and dig it out of our yard it's your's.

The plant is evergreen and loves shaded areas (it's growing under a canopy of oaks right now). Guess it likes our clay soil as well since it's obvious the area hasn't had any soil amendments added to it. If you need a big, green plant that will block out your neighbor's annoying dogs or keep their prying eyes from watching your naked dance parties, this is the plant for you!

Yeah the location is unfortunate and I don't really have a place to move it. If someone doesn't adopt it I'll just end up chopping it down.

if you do chop it back, just know that they grow back pretty quickly. i have to do some heady duty pruning on ours every other year.

I'll take it, but i'm not totally sure when I'd be able to come get it....Possibly tomorrow or sunday.

Sunday would work better for us but we can make Saturday work if you need it

4/27/2012 1:14:16 PM

I can probably do sunday...I'll let you know for sure tonight or in the morn.

your shrubbery scraps are becoming the majority of the landscaping in my back yard

haha I'm glad someone can use them! I think you'll be surprised at the transformation of the front when you come this weekend.
