TRANSPLANTING TREE OR PLANT

Transplantation of tree means moving a tree from one location to another location.  It is not an easy task as it sounds like. Any wrong step can affect the health of the tree or plant. It is a combination of multiple procedures joined together like tree removal, transporting it to a different location, and then replanting it, carefully.

You need determine the best location your tree or plant based on its type and compatibility with the soil and surroundings. You need to figure out whether a sunny area or a shaded place will be suitable for this, and also how much amount of watering required after transplantation.

Once the location is confirmed, you need to start digging the hole to fit in the plant or tree with its complete roots. It is necessary to dig the destination location beforehand to avoid any delay in placing the tree. Any delay in placing can decrease the survival chances of your tree.  You should have better idea about the depth and width of tree root ball and dig the space to fit in the size properly. Make sure you do not break the soil while digging up the hole at transplanting location.

Now, you need to start digging up the plant or tree from the origin place.  You need to start digging from a proper distance or perimeter so that its root doesn’t get damaged while digging.  Keep the root ball unbroken so that transplanted tree does not get effected. You might also be required to do pruning your plant a little to free it up from soil.

You can now start transplanting the tree at your location by placing it straight.  The mined soil can set back again to the hole where it came from and will support the tree. You should water the plant once they are placed so that the soil can settle down.  Some fertilizer should be added to give nutrients and minerals to your rebounded soil.
