How to Transplant Trees

[@maemae1752]

Some people are born teachers and you certainly have that gift, thank you so much.

[@BinoH]

You're welcome and thank you!

[@gecko5871]

Very helpful. More helpful than 4 yrs in college

[@BinoH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maemae1752]

‘More helpful than….’ Sad truth. I hope that wasn’t college for horticulture!

[@petergarcia8225]

Never an ez button for tasks worth doing. Great work...

[@BinoH]

Thanks 👍

Holy guacamole, Batman! Thanks a lot for the tutorial. That was a very clear and sobering demonstration of what a task that actually is and has let me know that I'm going to have to seriously rethink my intention of trying to move 19-20 fully mature tea plants (comparable in diameter to your demo tree) to the other side of an already crowded tea field. Unfortunately, too, there's only about 2 ft. between the bases of most of the plants, so on two sides of each plant there is absolutely no room to maneuver. Basically, it'd be like relocating a couple of 10-plant hedges. Nevertheless, the land that they occupy needs to be cleared for the installation of a 20-ton water tank. I wonder to what extent (if any) I will need to clear the ground of remaining roots so as not to cause any future problems with the foundation that the tank will set on. Anyway, that's my problem, not yours. Muchas gracias for the education and bless you for your service to others.

Sounds like a good sized project. Thanks for sharing! You're welcome and take care!

Thank you sir! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge here. I have to transplant a small lemon tree at my mom's house. It's slightly shorter than yours here, so this seems to be a good example for me! My main concern was capturing the root ball, so I think you've answered all my questions for me here. Thanks!

@@BinoH Could I ask some advice since there’s conflicting advice on the web? I have a 25y old apple tree which I need to move. The trunk is not too thick since it grew under the canopy of a willow tree. I will use your calculations in assessing the root ball dig size, but in your opinion, would an old tree like this survive such a move? It’s either move it or cut it down, and I would prefer to risk moving it, according to your guidance. Thanks 🙏

Great video and tips, thanks.

[@BinoH]

You're welcome, Thanks for watching!

[@ramonleon5175]

Thank you for sharing brother super useful video!

[@BinoH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ArtworkAnon]

Hell yeah doggie, I move plants every fall. Seattle area tho. ☮️🌿

[@abiyfeleke4502]

Wow... brother thank you so much....and what is the scientific implications behind your diameter calculations.

[@BinoH]

Do you mean if the root ball is less than the amount I used. They aren't my calculations it can be found in the Arboriculture.

[@lindaleach7954]

Excellent video!

[@BinoH]

Thank you very much!

Hi I have a question for you; I am moving my plants from the front garden to the back; the problem is that many of these plants do not have a place yet (I'm still planning the new garden); will i be able to put them in large pots, waiting to be put in the new place?

[@BinoH]

It's possible but a lot depends on each type of plant some are hardier than others and also the if they are healthy.

[@pixxa37]

@@BinoH thank you for the reply. I took a rhododendron off the soil this afternoon, and I was appalled that in 2 years the root ball had remained identical... Not even one little root was added. So that one I removed into a pot without scruples. But there are a griselina and its companion the photinia that have become so large i can only hope for cuttings... What a shame! I'm sure the new tenants will cut them down!

[@karlbush1678]

Thanks for this video. I wanted to transplant a handful of trees and I'm pretty sure i butchered the first one so i figured i should sit down and learn how the pros do this stuff before I murder any more trees. 😂 Thanks again.

[@BinoH]

You're welcome! Good luck!

[@jamessteffens8337]

Should the soil be wet or dry ? Thanks jim80

[@BinoH]

It would be a good idea to start watering the tree you plan on transplanting a few weeks a head of time so it won't be under stress. You don't want the soil wet but it's good if it moist.

[@lot5953]

I have a small southern magnolia tree that is in between the concrete walkway and driveway so there is not enough space for me to dig for the roots. so if I cut the roots underneath the concrete, will the tree die because I want to plant it in bigger area?

[@BinoH]

what is the trunk diameter?

[@zTribalstylerz]

great video!!!!!

[@BinoH]

Thank you!!

[@victorgutierrez5826]

Mucho trabajo Bino...me hubiera gustado que le pusieras una pipa de 4inch para abentarle agua hasta abajo esas plantas (Hawaiian trees) cuando la trasplantas necesistan mucha agua en la raiz y si no se seca aunque le pongas agua por arriba. saludos

[@BinoH]

True it is a lot of work to transplant a tree. Using a pipe is a good method but in this lawn it should get plenty of water. Thank you take care!

[@dellagro307]

Good job Bro.❤

[@BinoH]

Thanks 🔥

[@davidgonzales-ec8bo]

Fun video

[@BinoH]

yes it was!

[@petergarcia8225]

Can anyone answer if the the tree should be moist before moving or dried?

[@BinoH]

It should be moist.

[@dinahduke1982]

What about a small tree growing inside a treestump?

[@MiguelC.Herrera]

Hola buenas tardes C. Bino cuál es su profesión pues da datos importantes para el transplante del arbusto.

[@BinoH]

Hello, I am a Trees Supervisor and have been Certified through the ISA as an Arborist, Utility Specialist, Municipal Specialist and a Tree Worker Specialist. The information about transplanting came from a book called Arboriculture fourth edition.

Very tough job,

[@BinoH]

Very!

[@gundaaravind]

For large trees

[@BinoH]

My understanding get diameter one foot from soil grade and times each inch of diameter to 10 or 12 inches of soil. A lot bigger of a production. backhoe crane needed and you also need to build a box around the rood system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHe3m2Oegph3fq8si=0L-ymxeEO5fCOjYm

[@Eastbaypisces]

U can't just measure the trunk?

[@BinoH]

You can if you use a diameter tape but if you're using a regular measuring tape you'll need divide by pie to get the correct diameter.

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@BinoH what about if i want to transplant a tree next to concrete slab on one side, how would i dig to get out root ball on that side?? other parts i can get it but one side is concrete slab

[@BinoH]

@@Eastbaypisces How big of a tree is it? what diameter is the trunk?

[@BinoH]

What kind of a tree is it?

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@BinoH coast redwood , its small trunk like in video
