The Sun Won't Come Out - Tomorrow!

Well, we saw the sun for a while today - Long enough for me to comb out the roots of the enormous (to me) Mulberry tree Bobby and I dug up three day ago (Thurs. 4 July). I sifted enough wet soil to pot it. I prefer dry soil, but even the soil I keep underneath the bench, supposedly out of the rain, was saturated.

The plastic pot it is now in is about sixteen inches (40 cm) wide. It has been cut down by our fair city's highway department numerous times because it blocked the stop sign on the corner of our house lot. I've been trimming it down a bit more gently and it actually developed some decent branches over the last two years. It's a multiple trunk, sort of. The base of the tree is actually over four inches in diameter at its widest point.  I think this will end up being some sort of clump style, unless we cut of all or most of the secondary trunks coming up out of the base.

Here are the pictures.

Tree side - narrowest view but show some of the branching. 

Back view. The small branch lower right is probably going to have to be removed. 

Including the small ugly low branch there are seven live trunks. Maybe I can take it off and one other trunk and make a five-trunk clump.
