As we prepare for our big sale we are starting to dig a few of our big trees. Not only are we getting ready for sale we are also starting to get ready to move them to our other farm. It never ceases to amaze me how this process is done. Unlike other companies we hand dig our root balls so that we can actually create a root ball that reflects the actual roots of the tree. Rather than tree spading them and guessing at the size of the root ball. And we know what we we are doing . We hand dug these four huge trees pictured below all in one day. Notice each root ball is a different size reflecting the actual size of the root system and you don't see any cut roots in the holes - the tree moves as a whole unit. This provides less stress to the tree. It looks like the last of our big Pines have found a new home - the lane way looks bare without them. I love White Pines - they remind me of cottage country! I am eagerly anticipating September and the photo opportunities that await. All these trees and all that fall colour will be spectacular to see to see. We have a busy week ahead in preparation for the big sale. The tent arrives on Wednesday and then the balloons and then we have the food to prepare. And with the rain we have had an opportunity to finally start to dig some of the smaller plant material to showcase in the tent. Some beautiful Blue Spruce and some nice burning bush which are starting to show their brilliant red leaf display will be some of the plants showcased. It is an exciting time of year and it has been a busy season - I can't believe it is September already...
