Hi all, I have three trees in my garden which I planted for Tree O'Clock link (2009)
The one on the left I planted for tree o'clock, the other two I planted a couple of months later after they had dried out. (I must of planted them that close cause I didn't think they would survive)
As you can see, for being 6/7 years old they are only about 7ft for the tallest. (My dads is probably about 15ft) And they are approximately 1'6" apart.
I now need to move the middle one (on 'er indoors orders)
My plan was to move the one on the right (a hazel tree) to my 'wild' corner, and then moving the right most one over.
It started well, and I'd managed to start digging a small trench, but unfortunately my spade broke! I tried to wriggle the soil more with my fork, and that also broke
My fault for buying cheap tools!
SWMBO demands that the trees be moved. I've suggested kill the two and getting new ones, but that's cruel apparently!
And she wont live with the trees staying put!
Does anyone have any suggestions, hints or tips for moving trees?
