I see you're getting good advice.

I suggest that in the very bottom of the hole you put a large, freshly
minted coin. It's an old English (pagan?) tradition (that is still continued
by the arbourists at Kew gardens). It serves as an offering to... nature,
call it what you will. However its secondary purpose is that some time in
the future, if and when the tree is removed whoever does so may find it and
know how long the tree has been there.

There have been tress that have fallen in the wind (or are felled) in parts
of England and sometimes intertwined in their roots coins are found that are
hundreds of years old.
