ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE TIPS!!!! I cannot thank you enough for making this video, THANK YOU MIKE!!!!🤗🌲🍀

[@MikeKincaid79]

No problem, I've been wanting to do this one for awhile now.

Always amazing video of you with lots lots of beautiful plants 🪴 fig man ! Good job, Mike!😉👍🪴🇺🇲❤️

[@Paul-Coburn]

I always learn from your videos. Thanks Mike.

[@MikeKincaid79]

You got it buddy.

[@pc0086]

Perfect timing Mike!! I'm going to prune my beautiful Japanese maple tree that I planning to move with me next spring.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Perfect!

[@sp1068]

Efficient delivery of info and you hit on exactly the things I needed to know about. Thank you. I transplanted a Tulip tree the other day, cut the taproot probably in half, and lost some other bigger roots. And didn't do a thing to the branches or leaves. (Tree is maybe two feet high, with big leaves). Yesterday I looked at it, and several leaves were turning black. Few things I did wrong, so will trim it up a little bit and mulch it. Other thing I wanted to know about was cuttings, esp Dogwoods, and I see you have a video! Subscribed, and thank you.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks! Yes, I've got a few videos about dogwoods. As far as this tree transplanting video, I'll have an update of the tree out soon. Good luck and have fun!

[@soonzach4017]

Thank you Mike, always your channel so interesting.

[@lanceb7438]

Great advice. If I may add, it probably a good idea to stake the tree for the first year while the roots take hold.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Might be a good idea, if the tree is tall. Tip #5, lol.

[@lobe2032]

I love it, I love it, I love it, so interesting and informative, I for one learned alot !!!Thank you Mike, you are the best, love to the family❣️❣️❣️

🤞🏻for that tree. Look forward to seeing it later this summer. Good luck with the foundation. Lots going on in your world heading into growing season.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yeah, too much going on. Looking forward to getting the project done and moving forward more on my landscaping. It's bittersweet because we're excited about the house, but our property looks pretty tore up right now. All the rhododendron beds are still in great shape though and I'll have plenty of blooms to film this spring. Just had the foundation guys out this morning, started putting the footing forms together.

Very cool video Mike. I finally got to root myself long enough get to watch the video. We always want the fungus amungus. Which I just found out is British game lol

Sir I’m in the desert in west Texas and palo verde tree has sprouted too close to existing trees. The roots are so deep that I can’t get to them. Can I cut the root a foot below and treat it with hormone powder and replanting? Thanks

[@angelicaardon6689]

Thank you very much Mike

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

Great info. Now I am wondering if I want to move any of my trees, probably not. But maybe later on!

[@MikeKincaid79]

This is how I originally wanted to move the maple and was going to film it, and then the house build snuck up on me fast, lol.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

@@MikeKincaid79 Life sneaks up on me like that too!

[@scout4locations]

Do all this in February or March. Maybe I missed it but you left out seasonal effects. You sort of got there but didn't explain the reason to do all this cutting and uprooting when the tree is most most dormant which is late winter. This reduces the shock and gives it a full season of growth to make it's rebound smooth and the warmth needed to settle into it's forever home. Trust me. My name is Gardiner I never considered the root prune so thanks for that great tip.

[@baldyeti]

Great tips, brother. Pruning a year in advance is tough, for sure. I got some great notes on the rest of it though! Johnny Rooster Productions, eh? Nice

[@MikeKincaid79]

Haha, I like throwing Johnny back into the mix from time to time.

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

But keep the mulch off the trunk. I saw you pull it away in the video but you just said dump a bunch of mulch on the plant.

[@MikeKincaid79]

You've got to read between the lines with this Mike guy. He's a little unhinged.

[@ZE308AC]

You ever transplant a Cyclamen Ciclamen (Cyclamen Persicum? after it rooted in the ground and I had to break the roots from the soil and then the plant wilted

[@MikeKincaid79]

I haven't but I'm sure I'll get around to that one eventually.

[@marschlosser4540]

Make Mine Mulch was one of the best books I read as a kid. She used old hay cor high nitrogen-demand plants like sweet corn, straw for lesser need, and woody mulch for berry plants. I'll take anything I can get. Right now, 2 loads of palm fronds are soon to be history. The leaves rot fast but the woody parts resist decay yet hold onto moisture well. The sunchokes need to be dug and fermented and the bed is not rich enough to support that 10' growth they had in years past. More growth, more tubers. More greens for Termite the confused dog to browse. Hasta, nieto!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Sounds like a good book. I'll have to look that one up. You must be deep into your growing season by now, lol.

[@marschlosser4540]

@@MikeKincaid79 Yeah, need more mulch! When it gets hot, mulch melts, even wood chips. The chipper has gotten a major workout this season. A neighbor a few doors up has a landscaping business and told us to take all we want. that's much better than haunting alleys like some mulch ghoul haha.

Okay 😮 I have an apple tree that needs to be MOVED TO keep it from being a goner SO CAN I USE THIS Process to remove it has about a 10 inch trunk base what do you think I could do?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can definitely move it but not by hand. You're going to need some serious equipment for something that size. I'd follow the plan I laid out here but you could use a small backhoe to dig a line around the surface roots. I have a huge apple tree that I'm debating on moving or cutting down. Still haven't decided, but if I move it you can rest assured I'll be using the excavator.

[@Rocco25.6]

Thank you for your reply I really want to save the Tree 🙏👍

[@catchemalive]

Mike, what do you think is the best medium to use in pots for newly germinated acorn trees that won’t actually be planted for another year? I’ve got 8 different kinds of trees that are started in a green house but need to be transferred to bigger pots to dry until I plant them and want to make the right medium for them to live in. Thanks alot!!!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Any potting soil will do well. I prefer to use slow release fertilizers.

[@KeepHealthy]

You are Remarkable.

[@raducumilea-is2yi]

Hello! If i whant to move a tree in the spring, now is late to do that thing around the tree?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can start root pruning after it goes dormant, but you won't get the full benefit of leaving it in place one more growing season, but hey, if you have to move it, you have to move it.

[@raducumilea-is2yi]

​@@MikeKincaid79thanks for informations!

[@gsGs-xb6um]

I’ve moved my tree and it’s leaf’s are dead. Does that mean the tree died? How long before it comes back if it’s not dead?

[@MikeKincaid79]

There are many variables so it’s tough to say from where I’m sitting. When deciduous trees are stressed, they can lose their leaves but will regrow them back.

[@gsGs-xb6um]

@@MikeKincaid79 so I should keep watering it? It’s a black walnuts tree

[@insolentstickleback3266]

I have a good number of small 1 to 3 foot tall volunteer trees I have started transplanting to other parts of my 3 acres. My soil is for real an ancient flood plain, it is about 50% river gravels, or Missoula floods gravels as it were. Can't even push a spade into the ground, what a job this is.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Soil conditions can definitely make a difference on the job. We have a ton of rock here and it makes it tough to ball and burlap plants. The soil is good between the rocks though, lol.

[@McSnicker55]

I have 8 three year old fruit trees, in containers, that have grown roots out the bottom and into the ground under the container. They're solidly grown in place. Problem is I need to move them this year to their final place on my property. What is the best way to un-attach these trees from the ground? Or are they doomed.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Sever them now. You already have a strong root ball in the pot. Cut them now while they're dormant and get your trees planted. Make sure to break the roots up in the pot while planting.

[@McSnicker55]

[@pamigill207]

I’ve just removed a large shrub from my old house to new house. The leaves have started to fall and am really upset as these are Edgeworthia Grandifora. Please help

[@MikeKincaid79]

Such a beautiful plant! You must be in the northern hemisphere? If so, the tree isn't dormant yet and that's a bad time to dig a plant up and move it. It's like doing surgery on a person while they're awake. Would be better to do this in the winter, during dormancy. You may not have had that luxury due to time. It's probably in a little bit of shock. Will it make it? I'm not sure, time will tell. I'd prune some of the top growth back, plant it in good soil while trying to fill in any air pockets around the roots, use a transplant solution that will give it the necessary nutrients to recover, mulch well, water it in, and wait for spring to see what happens. One final step, you may want another Edgeworthia Grandifora on back order just in case. I wish you all the best and hope this one pulls through for you.
