Default Planted the Basjoo 9-6-2020

I have been on the fence but with advice from local grower Simply Bananas who knows this area well I decided to plant it. The roots were jumping out the drain holes and it's pushing leaves so down he goes. We'll see what happens. I have a Mekong Giant that's right behind it. What the heck right?

Here are a couple of shots and by the way that hole killed me.
