In March we had the privledge of hand digging a large Weeping Purple Beech tree and saving it from being chopped down.\u00a0 This lovely specimen came into our yard and graced us with its beautiful purple foliage, and became a focal point in our nursery.\u00a0 I watched it come in our yard naked of foliage – tall and stark in the horizon.\u00a0 I would view it everyday out of my office window.\u00a0 I watched the tender leafs emerge a perfect lime green and then turning to a dark maroon.\u00a0 But alas, it was not to be here for long.\u00a0 It is now gracing one of our customers’ backyards and looking like it had been there forever.\u00a0 The picture in one of my previous blogs shows the arrival\u00a0of this huge tree.\u00a0\u00a0I took over 100 pictures yesterday of what we call ‘The Weeping Beech Tree Move’ and have narrowed it down to a few to give you an idea of the process.\u00a0 In this particular case we had to use a large crane truck and had to lift the tree over an existing fence and other trees to place it in the hole.\u00a0 The guys make it look so easy but I know that manipulating a root ball of 23,500 lbs is not an easy feat!!\u00a0 As I mentioned before, watching a huge tree fly through the air is sight that is truly spectacular.\u00a0 And it all happens so fast!\u00a0 Each tree is different – and where it comes from – and where is goes to – is always unique.\u00a0 Just another day at the office!<\/p>\n
