| g'day emily, doesn't sound right to me? either, reckon they would need to be well and truely rooted into the soil d to hold that top load of even foliage alone. why 8m tall?? reckon they look ugly at that height and fruit too hard to get at. my suggestion buy malay gold dwarfs and let them grow naturally they will look better in the landscape. also duty of care to consider should fruit fall from that height onto someones head. maybe the landscaper has a couple of trees he wants to off load so your friend is his obvious choice? still be thinking of punching a hole through the concrete with a jack hammer before planting over the top with larger growing trees. len |
