Last week I was lucky enough to see the loading, unloading, and half the planting of an 18″ caliper European beech tree. The tree had been air-tool excavated, and was being moved over state highways to its new home at the residence of a former client of mine. Here’s what the tree and its immense root mass looked like:
After the tree had been loaded onto the trailer, its roots were covered with burlap and sprayed down for the ride to its new home.
This post is just a teaser; next spring after the tree leafs out I’ll write a post on the whole air-tool transplant operation, and give all the who’s, what’s, why’s, hows, wheres, and whens. Stay tuned.
