Boabs have a very restricted natural range - just the Kimberley really,
so Perth is way out - but then, just look at C. macrocarpa in California
and here. As for lack of roots, the Spanish seem to have success with
moving veteran olives with minimal roots to the central reservations of
new resort road layouts.

<I agree there's not much root but that may be less of an issue for a
drought adapted species than it would be for a UK Beech or whatever>
Regardless of whether it can survive rootless as a giant cutting
(thanks Moray), how the hell is it going to support itself, with a few
telegraph poles for support or what?

Well propping up trees is not unheard of, is it? And I'm not defending
the rootless cutting, just speculating that trees from another climate
may have peculiarities. I am reminded of a remarkable series of photos
showing Angsana trees rootless and horribly lopped on the back of a
lorry, stuck in holes in the streets then flourishing 5 years later,
which are on p25 of Trees in Urban Design by Henry Arnold (one of Peter
Thurman's favourite
books?)
