How to Remove a Bougainvillea

The bougainvilleas from three years ago have been replaced with two eugenia topiaries. Here are the planters back in March 2007 when I planted them.

Here are the planters 4 months after planting.

Here they are in January 2008 after a freeze very similar to what we had this winter.

And below is how it came back 3 months after the winter freeze.

Today, it took me 20 minutes to get the roots out of the containers, but I managed to get the whole rootball. Here's the time lapse video for anyone who's interested.

  3. I didn't realize this is what I have! I thought my new little "pom pom" tree was an ilex schilling.
    It survived the freeze with only minor burning.
