Japanese Weeper

Today's project was transplanting a perfectly good tree into a pot. The main reason was getting it out of the Summer sun and into the shade. First we could not get the ginormous pot out of the car because the tail gate would not open. The work around is to reboot the car and the way to do that is to remove the negative lead from the battery then replace it again. After doing so the back door opened.  Back to the delicate transplanting of trees.  The equally ginormous tree fern had to be put back on the fence after cutting a few branches to get it back in place. Then digging out the root ball came next,without damaging too many roots and washing out all the dirt before positioning it in a tub of compost. Simples!
