Most men would like to claim their "man root" i.e. p***s, is bigger than their "branches" i.e.fingers, but I have found it isn't always true.

The only way to know for sure is to start digging and measuring.

You can't believe everything, just because you find it on the internet.

This lists some additional information. One of the most magnificent and inspiring things I have ever seen in nature.

Not true for the Japanese maple I have just uprooted.

It was actually small enough to go into a pot whilst awaiting a new location.
