Today was the day we finally were able to transplant the new tree to #6. The weather cooperated and we took advantage of it. The tree is roughly 7" around and about 30' tall and is cross between a silver maple and red maple. The spade used to move it was 90" across and weighed roughly 54,000 lbs empty before it was loaded with the tree. It was a big chore, but with the help of Will Manda from Rosehill, Eric from Instant Shade, and my staff we were able to complete the work without any major problems.
