It was sad losing the old cherry tree. Today we purchased a replacement. It's a Kwanzan cherry.
Digging the hole was a challenge ... 4 feet diameter by 18" deep. The roots from the old tree provided an added challenge. Luckily I got help from a 2 and 5 year old.
With the hole dug, we got a tree (birthday present from parents) and got ready for planting. Luckily neighbor Laura helped get it off the truck. And double luckily, neighbor Dien showed up to help lift it from the tub and into the hole.
Ready for picture in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... snap. Rats.
Cherry tree planted. Start growing and blooming.
