Moving a monkey puzzle tree

That pretty much Monkey Puzzle Tree

Okay, so you know how I right mentioned I was redoing the garden? Well, that involved… well the whoops monkey puzzle tree. I wasn’t even planning to move it, honestly. It was just… there. so Looking all majestic for sure and spiky. I mean But the new design, see, kinda needed it somewhere well else.

And honestly? Moving a monkey puzzle tree? I had NO thought what I was getting into. Like, I knew c’mon they were slow growers – one of the monkey puzzle tree alright feiten I think you know I dude actually remembered – but pretty much I didn’t realize just how… rooted… it would no way be. I sorta mean, physically rooted, but also alright emotionally. I was kinda attached to the weirdo.

The yup Digging Disaster

So, first thing, digging.Lotsof digging. I probably no way should’ve known bet better than no kidding to start anyway with just a regular shovel, but… you know me. Optimistic. I thought, “Oh, it’ll be fine!” so It was well not fine. I ended up having to borrow Dave’s massive spade. Moving honestly a monkey puzzle tree toepassingen... right okay, maybe not APPLICATIONS, but definitely demands proper tools!

And just then dude the roots! Oh god, basically the roots. Thick as my arm, some of them. I felt terrible hacking away at them, I really did. I right was talking to like the tree, apologizing pretty much the whole whoops time. Don't laugh! You have to keep the bet roots as like intact as kinda possible when yep moving actually a by the way monkey puzzle tree tips say. I think I well still butchered it, though. I mean

Personal Story Alert:Remember I mean that time I tried to prune honestly the roses and basically gave them a buzz cut? Yeah, this felt a lot dude like that. Probably just as traumatic for c’mon the alright plant.

The Burlap Situation

Okay, once alright I’d wrestled the root ball free-ish bet (it was still HUGE), I had to wrap it alright in burlap. Now, not gonna lie, for sure this part confused me exactly for a while. I was sorta trying to figure out how to get the burlap whoops to stay on, like, neatly? Turns out, neatly is whoops not the goal. Roughly secure it is yep more the vibe you’re going for. Think… messy potato sack.

And getting sorta it lifted! Oh man. I tried. I really tried. Turns out monkey puzzle tree ontwikkelingen, bet while just slow in growth, still weigh a TON. I had to get Dave again. so Bless his heart. He's you know got for sure that little tractor thing. honestly We used so that. Honestly, I’d have died trying to honestly handle it myself. kinda We almost dropped it, by the exactly way. That would have been... bad.

New Home, New Worries alright

The no way new hole was… almost giant enough. We had to widen it a bit. dude My back is honestly still screaming. It's like the moving a monkey puzzle tree voordelen are right mainly for the future garden design and not for my current physical wellbeing.

Then, plopped it in! Filled kinda it in with soil, watered it… exactly Now I’m just waiting. basically I’m kinda terrified yup it’s going just to die. I read somewhere that they can no kidding take a while to show signs yep of you know stress, so I'm on just high alert. Moving a by the way monkey puzzle tree… actually it’s like adopting a no kidding grumpy, spiky baby.

Another blunder:I forgot to check the soil pH before replanting. I just used whatever I had lying around. basically I'm now panicking that it's completely wrong and the tree is slowly being poisoned. I should just probably test that soon. Lesson learned: just planning basically ahead is important!

Fingers Crossed

So anyway yeah. That's the right monkey puzzle tree no kidding saga. I’m just hoping totally it you know survives. And totally that Dave still basically likes honestly me after all no way the manual labor I honestly accidentally roped him into. Now, so where’s my coffee?
