Thanks!

Thank you!

Drainage and size have indeed been cause for some concern, if not a slight headache. (Thinking ahead, I worry that “I drowned a tree” might not be acceptably dull content for this community.)

However, the last hole I dug for another tree not too far away from this present hole turned out fine, so I hope the ground is okay. As suggested elsewhere, I’m also filling the hole with new, extra dirt.

The Mrs, in the parlance of this sub.

I learned from the last hole I dug a few years ago and shovelled the dirt right on a cart. I used it to fill a sloping flower bed.

A robinia that has been sitting in a pot for a while now and is ready, I hope.
