Nevermind the unsightly wiring job. These had travelled for about eight hours with minimal soil and just a little water.
By the time I got home I was tired and still had four trees to pot. Next time, I'll have the pots ready and waiting for me when I get home.
Note to self; don't dig more trees than you can find room for!!!
Of course, it's wayyyy to early to think about any styling or what position these trees will end up in in their pots. First, I have to see which ones live, how much foliage survives, and if they do well in my climate.
