The very large Elm



We planted a Chinese Evergreen Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) in a client's yard this week. It was quite a difficult chore seeing as it is so heavy and about 18 ft tall! When the guys were trying to remove it from the truck, the tree fell over and almost out of the dolly because it is so top heavy. I think the base weighed 500 lbs (or more). There were 5 guys getting it off the truck to the front yard. I didn't know what to do as I am strong but not that strong. Sometimes it is best to stay out of the way. Of course, we decided to plant it 12 feet away from were we thought originally so 4 of us had to drag it across the ground to the new hole ( I helped on this one). The poor tree was quite abused but I think it will be fine. I watered it in and added Superthrive fertilizer for transplanting and shock. I am sure that it will help!
