So here's where That Tree ended up: as the centerpiece of an autumn display at Dick Hayne's Terrain at Styers garden shop in Glen Mills, surrounded by pumpkins and mums. (You'll recall that "That Tree" is the beloved hickory that stood atop a Springdell hillside, all by itself, until it was blown over this spring. A few weeks ago I reported that I saw some of Mr. Hayne's workers digging out the root ball and hauling it away.)

 

 This is what the roots looked like just a few hours after the tree fell, before they were cleaned and groomed and styled:

Thanks so much to the Terrain customer/Tilda reader who sent me this tip! Much appreciated.
