Moving a tree

 

 

So it was decided that we need to transplant a tree.  Not one of the bigger ones. But this one  - growing out of a wall . 

 

 

 

 And at the same time I could perhaps do something about the walling that was a bit iffy. 

 

 It hadnt actually all fallen off (yet) , but was probably a matter of time

 

So the tree : 

 First. take down the bit of the wall that is in the way. 

 

 

 see how deep the roots are  going. In this case, not very - in fact going horizontally. ive no idea why all the earth has built up on the wall, but the tree has made use of the fact. 

 Remove tree and transplant somewhere a bit more favourable 

  

 

And rebuild the wall. 

 

 

 

And the robin - it was  hanging around whilst all this was going on .
