Ugh, friggen tree. I had it in a half wine barrel, about 18" tall worth and just massive so that it barely fits through the door and i had to dolly that monster from the front to the back, wrap the tree so I didn't just snap off all the branches, get it to the back, extract it from the pot, dump it over, pull it out, maneuver it to the middle of the hole and level it, fill the rest of the hole with 4 wheelbarrows of mix, then dirt, compacting it, then bark, and I'm dead. I was already dead from yesterday. Now double dead. I couldn't have done this at the end of summer alone. I definitely used every ounce of new growth strength. Even my abs are tired somehow, everything. But its done. New trees in the ground.
