Drainage holes covered in mesh and wires pushed through to help hold the tree in place. This is needed for this tree due to planting high so little weight of soil to hold it in place

Roots - elm3.jpg

Roots have been combed out and a lot of the soil removed. Would have preferred to leave a little more but needed to find where these roots were heading. Some large roots to be removed and they have curled badly under the main trunk so for now the planting will need to be a little higher than I wanted.
