Hey there little feller… December 15, 2005
Posted by Phillip in : misc , trackbackSo I get home yesterday and I am ready to take a nap in preparation for my midnight emergency maintenance window. I get home to find a tree sitting in a bucket of water. Andrea informs me that the tree will only last a couple of hours this way. I get the hint: Time to dig a hole.
Ever dug a hole in Stone Oak? I had exactly 3 inches of grass and topsoil. The rest was large rocks and hard clay. After two hours, a digging bar and two different types of shovels, I manage to get a hole that is around 3 feet deep. This is mostly thanks to a tip my neighbor gave me about digging a little and then filling the hole up with water and scooping out the mud/clay.
I took a picture of the tree as I left this morning:
According to my wife this tree will grow between 5 - 10 feet in a year. I don’t know what kind of tree this is, but anything to help separate us from the neighbors on that side.

Did you take that picture from a helicopter? That tree looks like a twig.
I am sure this tree will be beautiful once it has grown a bit!
