(sorry about the earworm)
I've been trying to deal with this corner of the back yard for 16 years. Last week I bought the biggest Meyer Lemon tree in the nursery, having neither the patience nor the time left on the planet to nurture a 5 gallon starter to fill the space. This is what they delivered today:
.Once again, power tools were involved in the creation of the hole.
The bottom of the box was shoveled off,
then the dusty roots were brushed away.
They muscled the box over to
and into the hole.
We (I advising, they doing the work) turned it so that the fullest part faced into the yard.
They filled the hole, established the irrigation, and used the extra soil to cover an exposed fiber optic cable on the outside of the pony wall.
I went out to water it a second time (apparently you cannot over-water a citrus tree) late this afternoon, and this is how it looked.
It's pretty and it's always nice to have fresh lemons.

And the good news is that the deer don't like them. We had one next to two Orange trees and the deer loved the Oranges and left the Lemon alone. Pretty tree!
ReplyDeleteDeer aren't a problem here. The javelina can't get inside the fence/gate and if the mountain lions want a snack, I won't mind watching them!

No, they cut the metal binding and took off the sides. I forgot to take a picture of that - thanks for reminding me!
