Cut it back about 1/2 as Dave suggested. Left about 25' of tree. Used a yank strap (left from my jeep days) a chain & a come-along. Winched the sucker upright after digging out the hole. Propped it up with 3 2x8's & some 2x4's. Amazing thing, after filling around it I used the hose with the end down in the dirt and found all sorts of voids & air pockets. It just kept taking more & more dirt. Washing in the dirt was the longest part of the job. Hopefully this will save it. I am really partial to Jakarta Mangos probably because I worked on a remote island, Sulawesi, Indonesia where I learned to like them. OBTW Mangoes fruit 2X in Indonesia. ------------------------- The second mouse gets the cheese. |

Good luck. My VP fell over, but it was only a couple years old...6 or so inch trunk. Pruned and stood back up.
