Re: aw geez now what

In the meantime, build a frame around it and put shade cloth over it. Then figure out what to do.

I had to remove my Yoshino Cherry at the back of my house, west side, as it was dying. It's been a slow steady death from rot. I planted it too deeply because the B&B mechanical process had pushed the soil up the trunk creating an artificial soil line, which in my novitiate, I took to be the actual soil line.
The tree was one thing. I accepted that; I took it down. But it had shaded my Jap Maple Orangeola, which I now worry about losing. I also have to remove the Lamium groundcover which is scorching from direct sun. I can deal with all this.
The big problem though, at the moment is that I had planted a giant blue hosta, Hosta 'Krossa Regal' in front of the tree. It has always been a stunning specimen with wrist-size starts shooting up in spring. It is frying in the sun. I knew I had to move it, ok but, I can't. It's been completely overgrown underground by the cherry's tree roots. Big suckers. Can't get a shovel into the ground. 

What do I do now?
