hmmmm, I have no idea but I did cut about four fairly large roots that were out from the root ball. I had no other way to get it out.

The soil is very, well rich would be the word. It has composted wood chips and horse manure/pee that has composted a min. of 1 year and some of it up to 10 years. There is a horse farm near here that is getting rid of their compsot pile from where they cleaned the stalls and dumped it behind the barn. It is the most amazing soil!!! Ok...I wanted to say..sh**.

I will say this....I AM NOT STICKING MY FINGER INTO IT. Not in a way to feel the water. LOL. It gets morning shade, sun from 1 pm to about 5 pm and then shade again. So far it does look wilty on top but ok.

I have some root stimulator and was worried about putting it into the area because of all the composted manure being so rich. But I will go water it in well with root stimulator then.

I promise pictures....my dog passed away this morning so it has been a bad day for everything. The last picture I have of him is the area where the tree went so I will post it in his memory......I took it 2 weeks ago. He was my gardening pal.
