O.K. Sweets...I just thought of a couple of other ideas...
Call your city "arborist"
To make a long story short..I had a situation arise 2 years ago over a BB that got demolished by the city work crews. He himself came out and we talked for about an hour.. The next spring he came out to see if it came back..it did not nor did three other plants in that new bed... He got me $150!!!
Heck even try calling the Mayors office!!
Also we have here a 311 number for different information..and a 211 number for "first call for help"
you just gotta find the right "gardener" er..uhm.. I mean person....and then there will be no holds barred!!!
Just all depends on how much work you want to put into it...
and my offer still stands...I can send you rootings or seeds (I myself suck at seeds) and I don't have any of the things you listen above but I gots some other neato stuff
