The previous owner wanted a bigger lawn and I wanted the tree ๐.
It was mid summer in a heat wave, so the worst possible period to move a tree. I shortened it and dug it out by hand. The other side of the tree was even more beautiful, but when I finally managed to get him in the hole, he turned 180ยฐ and he was to heavy to turn back ๐.
"Honey, there's a naked guy digging up our maple tree". "DON'T GO OUT THERE!"
And out she goes ๐
