We have a dwarf crab apple tree that was 'temporarily' planted three years ago while we decided where to put it after having to move it to make room for the cabin. We still don't have anywhere to put it.

It is 6 foot high at the moment and we want to move it now before the spring growth starts.

It is a pretty pinkish white flower something like in this photo (not the actual tree)

The actual tree doesn't look much at the moment but will look beautiful in about three months (actual tree now)

You will need to dig it out but that shouldn't be too big an issue. Bring some tarpaulin or similar to hold the dirt and roots while you take it home.

Smaller versions of these sell for £25 - £35 from garden suppliers but happy to let it go for what ever you want to give.

Quick replies as the wife keeps looking at the chainsaw as a quicker solution for clearing it.

Post here or PM me questions

Real woof is the opposite of this : https://www.amazon.com/House-Dog-Barking-Growling-Security/dp/B002OSWW7K

Seems cruel to burn real dogs though, wood would be much better I would have thought.

Coincidence that I'm currently watching Groundhog Day?

So this is STW and no-one is going to comment on the fence or dead leaves.

What's the world come to? 🙁
