I lugged my tools and water around for 3 hours before I found the tree I would soon dig. The tree was under the shade of a larger juniper, much larger, about 20 feet across. I feel that the best trees come from a shaded area, since this makes the tree stretch to find the sun and therefore build a suitable trunk.

This tree was double trunk in nature and about 4 feet tall. The trunk was about 4" across at the soil line.
