COHEN, LORI. 1987. How do you move a large tree? Landscape Contractor, September, pp 8-9.

With the of aid sophisticated equipment now available, it’s not surprising that landscape contractors today have refined to a science the job of moving large trees. Equipment such as tree movers, hydraulic spades, winches, cranes, large bulldozers and sleds not only help to make the job more manageable, but almost guarantees success. To ensure success when moving a large tree, the most important thing to consider is the type of tree you are going to move. The environment you are moving it to and the time of year you are moving it are also very critical. The tree transplanting involves three main operations: digging or lifting, moving to the new site, and replanting. After the tree is in place, proper pruning will balance the crown and root system without altering the symmetry of the tree. Conditions at the new location will determine whether or not the tree needs to be staked. To prevent transplant shock, anti-dessicants sprayed on the tree help retain moisture in the leaves.
