RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Comparison Of Bare-Root Versus tree Spade Transplanting Of Boulevard Trees JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 271 OP 274 DO 10.48044/jauf.1981.065 VO 7 IS 10 A1 D.E. Vanstone A1 W.G. Ronald YR 1981 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/7/10/271.abstract AB Dormant trees of green ash, black ash, hackberry and Amur cherry were transplanted along residential streets either by means of a 110 cm tree spade or bare-rooted and small trees were transplanted bare-rooted only. First season’s shoot growth and leaf size of spaded trees was four to ten times larger than on comparable sized bare-rooted trees and approximately twice as large as small bare-rooted trees. Growth during the second season of small bare-rooted trees was greater than that of larger trees regardless of transplant method. Amur cherry was the only species in this study which showed losses due to transplant shock during the first year. One large tree each of green ash and black ash transplanted bare-rooted was lost during the second year.
