What happens here
Prepare a dedicated planting area for a bonsai tree using clay-based soil found on-site. Use a mini excavator and bobcat to move the soil and create a raised mound, which the clay soil's properties allow to hold its shape naturally. Strategically place a few large rocks around the base of the mound to mimic a natural bonsai landscape. Once the mound is shaped and rocks are in place, plant the 'Uncle Fogey Jack Pine' bonsai tree in the center. Add some plant fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.
Goal: Create a stable mound for the bonsai tree and plant it with appropriate care.
