SOOOOOO very happy! Our trees were delivered. planted, fed, and staked this afternoon. I couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to have the nursery do the planting. The Tipu went in SO fast and easy. 1 guy 20 min. The Mesquite (which was getting planted near as possible to the old pine stump near the corner of the yard) was a beast to get in. It took 4 guys over and hour to get all the roots out. They took turns with pickaxes and only broke one pipe (which they repaired beautifully). We had our yard marked out by blue stakes, and it was crazy how many lines we had in all the best tree planting spots.
The small circle of dirt is where one of the old stumps used to be.
I love how tall the Tipu is. I am excited to see just how fast these fast growing tree really grow.
They did such a great job with this crappy situation of roots and utility lines. You can see how part of the tree is actually planted in the pine stump area. We need to get some fill dirt in the old stump area and round out the ring around the tree. It's hard to see how neat the mesquite is. It's bendy and twisty and awesome!
I am just SO HAPPY to have trees!!!
