To get ready for the garage construction, we had to move the special cherry tree that we planted in the back in memory of our cat, Peanut. As you can see by the picture, this was no small feat -- the tree has grown considerably in the last few years.
To get started, Jake dug a deep hole around the roots and then gradually dug under the tree, severing roots as he went. We were both surprised by the size of the roots.
When Jake went to move the tree, I was gone, so Molly helped him by moving the wheelbarrow under the tree as he moved the tree across the yard to its new home on the other side.
Hopefully the tree will thrive in its new home!
