It was a really nice tree, but it fell over. We let another trunk grow from the base and it was about 8' tall when it fell over. I'm thinking of ripping the whole damn thing out and putting in something stable.

The poor cherry tree was planted in a shallow bowl lined with shale (most of our yard). It fell over in a wind storm and it took my father's F-250 and the neighbor's Chevy SUV to pull it back into position. I think it made it. There are new sprouts and buds all over the thing. That would be good.
