Utilizing the strengths of an already mature tree to best control your landscape environment gives a lot more instant gratification than growing a sapling. However, there are many considerations to think about before transplanting a large tree from one spot to another.
Source: via freedigitalphotos.netThe first step in picking a proper new location for a tree is to ensure that it will be a smooth process of getting it into the ground. A less than ideal transport can leave a tree with a quarter of its initial root structure, severely inhibiting the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Because of this fact, it's very important to take extra special care of the tree's roots during all stages of the transplant.
Different species of tree have different needs during transport, even depending on the state of the tree before it is dug up and the relative soil quality of each location. A root ball may be a great option for the most success, but contacting an experienced tree care professional is highly recommended, making sure the tree is protected during this highly stressful event.
