Default Moving an apple tree

LaLong wrote:
Hello everyone,

I moved into my little terrace about a year ago, and inherited a bit
of a miss match garden.

I have lots of shingle and bark, and some random shrubs in one bed on
one side of my garden....

I also have an apple tree in the top corner of my garden which
produced quite a bounty of apples this autumn, even though it is
obviously still young (10 foot high and spindley).

I want to either deck, or patio this top end of my garden and build in
seating to the side which will cover the area the apple tree currently
sits in.

Can I safely move it into a large pot? As I am hoping to remove the
hotch botch bed altogether. Or will I have to build round it?

Any help is much appreciated!


As Charlie said, build round it. Build a seat around the tree. Like
this...........
