We planted a couple of small trees (fringe tree, about 3 feet tall) and a serviceberry (about 6 feet tall, in a burlap bag) over a month ago. Now we realize we need to move them a little and plant them higher. Is it safe to do this? How do we do this without hurting the trees?
Thanks!
Sure, it's easier to do now since the roots won't be huge. Make sure you dig a large enough circle around them so your not disturbing the new root system too much.
We moved the serviceberry tree last weekend. It was easy - some of the original burlap was still in place. Now it's in a better spot in the yard and it looks just fine. We're keeping it watered. Thanks for the help!
Good job. There is a product called quick start that helps trees, shrubs and plants in general combat transplant shock. you can find it most anyplace that sells garden stuff. It has phosphorus to help stimulate root growth and is easy to use. just mix and pour into the root zone.
