Steps For The Process Of Tree Transplanting

1. Initial Treatment

• Only trees with good conformation and free of
  pests are selected and irrigated for a period to
  bring them out of drought stress.
• Then minimal pruning is to be done for the
  natural branch structure.

2. Sequenced root pruning

• The root pruning is done in a stage sequence of 2
  4 events to allow the tree for recovering from
  the shock of cutting its roots.
• The root pruning is done in the shape of the tree
  spaded root ball or in the proper box size
  ensuring that all roots initiated by the root
  pruning process will be harvested when the tree
  is transplanted.
• This staged process takes from 3-12 months.

4. Careful Handling and Shipping

• Special slings and pulleys are used to pull in
  the branches to legal highway dimensions, as well
  as proper trapping, and support of the trunk
  during transit to prevent stress on the root
  ball.
• Trees delivered in the tree spade have a
  completely intact root ball that is a big aid to
  survival.

Survival of Transplanted Trees

• By utilizing the described process we are able to
  have a 98 survival rate.
• There is a misconception that field grown trees
  need to be held in the boxes for a year or more
  before you are sure they will survive.
• In fact, once few months are passed any
  significant transplant shock is evident and is
  best for the tree to be replanted.
• In very rare cases the tree shows a lot of stress
  and shock after boxing, these trees are held in
  the nursery or replanted until they recover.
