Thank you for your words of encouragement. We are working steadily towards building the required embankment in the West. Material has to be added gradually and compressed to ensure that it is stable. Extention to the East will probably be postponed until the swing bridge is in place.
Fair point. Its not ideal timing. These trees were generously donated to us before we were really ready for them. To keep them alive they were temporarily planted along a fence line. Since then the fence has been removed, and they were now in danger of being damaged. Having moved them, we watered them each week during the hotter weather. We will see what happens in the spring. Fingers crossed.
I feel confident that you will solve the problems soon.

What are the chances of a bare root tree surviving when planted in august….

May 2024 update. Of the 8 trees planted, 5 are looking very good. One is dead. The other 2 are not great, but are showing some signs of life.
