Fall is for Planting - Ginormous Trees!!

So we have been shopping around for a few weeks looking for the best deal on the largest tree that we can afford. We have been to the local Nursery's, Tree Farms, and the Big Box Stores. 

Large Nursery's - small 30gal; puny stick of a tree $200 & 100gal $1200

Tree Farms - nicer 45gal; you let them plant $450 & 100gal $1500+

Home Depot - Huge 95gal Gorgeous tree! priceless (less than $300)

We happened to see a tree (huge) at a Home Depot but as we looked closer it was already sold! ( Last One) So we had it in our mind to find another store that had a 95 gallon , Shumard Red Oak tree for less than $300. That is a huge deal if you have ever been shopping around for trees! This size will usually cost you $800-$1200+. No one had any. We then decided to check out a tree farm in Frisco; wow $$$. And they would not sell me a tree, I had to let them plant it! I was going to give them Money, but they would not let me take a tree! What?

I am too cheap to pay someone to dig a hole in the ground for hundreds of dollars when I have two good hands...and a shovel! Then my wife thought "lets call a Home Depot around here" (25 miles away from home!) JACKPOT Yes they say we have 2!!! One is plenty for now.....

 Our Tree being Loaded!

 Ready for the long haul home! What have we done?!?!?

 Yes It looked much bigger once we got it home!!!

Now the real fun begins...Stay tuned. 

Tree Planting Party Next Weekend!! 

They told me it weights 500lbs.

( Bring you Shovels Haha!)
