I am so beat! We took down the hoophouse today and moved 8 trees from the backyard to the front thru a walkway made narrow by big trees and bushes. The brug trees are all in heavy clay pots but I had not watered in several days and they were drooping! My DH put one at a time on a dolly and took off like he was in a race. They got so battered. He acted like he hated them. What a thought! I finally cried UNCLE and decided to leave the rest in the back yard! LOL

I bleached and scrubbed all my 24 inch saucers that I kept under these last summer as well as huge clay pots to pot up my new suckers. Hard work.

I trimmed these way down. Next weekend, I will cut off the suckers, root trim and repot in same pot but in fresh dirt....then done until fall move to the backyard.
Oh, and straighten them a bit! LOL
My driveway, half an alley!
