I'll take a photo of the base of the trunk of the one I had to leave in there. I think they got so leggy and tall because they were only sporadic bloomers and grew up instead of out. Which is partially my fault because I had 2 Green Jade Vines that were planted one in front and one in back that met in the middle of the greenhouse in the rafters and were so dense they made too much shade. Also a lot of larger growing broadleaf tropicals like heliconias. They were just too shaded to bloom regularly. It took a while to dig them you...they were firmly established and the roots had to be severed with a combination of a pruning saw and big tree loppers. But they all came out intact and went right into the ground. I expect them to root back in pretty quick. I put them close to the greenhouse wall to capture the radiant heat in the cooler months.
