In Reply to: Tree Transplanting??? posted by gmccool on August 27, 2015 at 16:55:24:
Learned this the hard way. I have planted approx. 5,000 conservation trees. And I have also dug up trees on the farm and transplanted them.
Dont plant them too deep! If you transplant a tree just an inch or so deeper than it was growing, it will "girdle" itself. The first signs you notice is lots of sprouts growing up from the base several years after transplanting. As the tree gets older, you will notice that the roots are wrapping themselves around the base of the tree. The wrapped roots will eventually choke off the tree and kill it. I had a white pine blow over and it left a cone shaped hole in the ground. It had hardly any root system.
The Missouri Dept. of Conservation wrote an article on this problem about 8 or 10 years ago. There should be info of this on the web.
