Old Tree my day

[memike]

I started this Japanese Maple tree in the year 2000:cheers:
And I was not going to loose it.

So I made a plan:-k and it is getting close to spring!! and it had to be dun.

I needed to think and not have no distractions, So no help was good help for this old guy.:sign3:

The hole family had a fit when they herd what I had dun!!:boxing:
I got out at 8:30 am and they did not have a clue

But I called Treva and ask her to come to the old home place and help me.

She asked me, What I are you doing!! I told her I needed help putting something in the truck.

I did not get a picture:banghead: of the hole I had help digging to put it in.

But it is in the ground with 120lb's of top soil and peatmoss .

I have been worried about getting it on the hill all winter.

Now its dun.:thumleft::drinkers:

[dodge-n-it]

1-800-jap-mapl anytime.lol hehe.
I wish I brought mine from my old house too.
once I get my yard more situated I be planting some

 

[memike]

Japanese Red maple.

 

[memike]

They don't take allot of work after the first year.
And they like protection from the wind and like afternoon sun.
Don't ever fertilize them and give them drainage.
I will be butting out 25 plants just to sell in three years! 40 to 80 dolors a peace. with a 1.50 investment, and it keeps me out of the house.

 

[memike]

Know I check and make sure all the roots are good and wet.:read2:

Leanna called me as I was watering and said the intake is on its way.:cheers:

Some of use gear heads have a green thumb too.
And this thread will be complete when you see it this summer:clock:.

mike, I cut down a maple a lil smaller than yours but apparently not enough. I was mowing the lawn with a lil snapper walk behind with the safety handle pressed in.I hit that stump and when I hit it the handle stuck into my right ******** and I hit the ground hard for around 5 minutes, I looked afterwards and everything was still there but I took the whole stump out 3 days later ,heh

 

[memike]

She made it

memike happy:-D


And here is a yearling I started last year.
