Clue/Question: When they were able to save the oak that had fallen in the storm, it was – – –
Answer: “TREE–MEND–OUS“
(A monumentally stinky Jumble pun! Just the way we like ’em! Right, folks? Sort of a double pun too. Restoring the oak is the same as mending the tree. I don’t think we’ve ever had this Jumble pun before. Many trees can be righted after they’ve blown over in a storm, as long as the roots are intact, and you don’t wait too long.
All four clue words are on the ralis95 clue word database. Three of the jumbles are coming up as new for me. But we have definitely seen “uwnde” in a previous Jumble. All the clue words came quickly. The answer letter layout was an elusive eleven letter jumble. Not obvious. It took me a couple of looks before picking up on the pun/s.
Fine cartoon of the couple watching the tree surgeons righting the fallen tree. An uplifting Jumble! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

You learn something new every day! I did not know that a tree that had been pulled over could be saved! Of course, taking care of it in time, etc. as stated. Good to know!
And yes, grand jumble!!! LindaLee
Yeah, LindaLee. I’ve seen it. I think it likely works better with younger trees. Probably tougher with older, more established, trees. — YUR
Wouldn’t that depend on how big/bulky and/or tall the tree is ?
Yes, my friend. Generally, that is linked to how old the tree is. Another factor is the kind of root structure of the tree. Some have shallow roots that can more easily be returned to the ground. Deeper roots that break would be much harder to re-establish. — YUR
