Re: aw geez now what

Well, the timing is right. It won't be long before it losesits leaves and in winter it's never been well protected. So maybe starting up in spring in stonger exposure it will acclimate.

Don't know Orangeola, but there are many J. maples in this part of the
world that are planted in full sun. And occasionally during summer,
full sun is a triple-digit frying pan. I've seen none the worse for
it. Maybe it's what they get used to?

That was what I thought I might do for Orangeola, perhaps with
burlap.  The hosta won't sustain any serious damage to its well
being from the frying leaves as it is late in the season.  I just
took the tree down last week.

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?
