Here is another big old tree he popped right out.

I also will pop them out to save them if they are really special brugs and I want to take them home with me. I then just repot them when I get home. They do fine even with all the roots cut off. I am amazed they do not even go into shock if I keep them in a cool, shady place. One year, I didn't even repot them, I left them just like that in my hoophouse over winter and they did fine.

I know people in the colder areas do this also to grow them big outside in the summer and then bring them in for the winter.
