Chuck got so frustrated that he poured concrete in a laundry tub and planted the tree in the middle of it. Do you know that concrete pulls moisture out of its surroundings? The needles were falling off within a couple days. <br /><br />The four kids on the bench is adorable but it makes me sad that they will be squished next year. <br /><br />A trick for a leaning tree is to use heavy weight fishing line to secure it to the wall. When we were in Atlanta my mom always picked a tree about 18’ tall and my dad would secure it to the adjacent walls with fishing line.
