The tree to replace the one that fell is in at 4:15 pm Janis went to Star Nursery at 10:30 to buy it, and as soon as it was bought and put on the trunk via forklift, they drove out of the parking lot and the tree trunk broke/snapped. They returned to the store to get the replacement tree. The store owner wanted to tell Janis that they weren’t responsible for it once it left the store, but Janis was having none of that!
Janis explained that the forklift driver should have put the tree on there correctly, and if that meant laying it down on the truck, the employee should have done that correctly.
Ashe came back with the new tree, which was nice and full.

This was supposed to be a 45 min job, but instead it was 4 hours, as the root ball was huge!

It finally got done at 4:15 and looks good!
We may have to move the Rose bush though….
