providing shade for a tree

The tree was placed in the shade until planting (Monday, April 2, 2007).
The tree was too tall to fit under the shade structure without laying it on its side.
The trunk is protected from damage by a roll of shade cloth placed between the trunk and the
cinder block it is resting against.
