Transplanting large trees
Once a new house has been built, it is usually time to arrange the garden around it, which, in addition to manicured grass, also has space for decorative shrubs and trees. These bring some shade especially in the sunniest places. However, for small tree seedlings to grow to the right size, you have to wait a great many years and care for them for a long time, and yet you are never quite sure whether they will grow the way you want them to. Fortunately, horticultural methods are developing more and more and we now have the possibility of replanting very large trees, i.e. even trees whose root ball reaches a diameter of 10 metres or more. Such procedures are possible, but it is necessary to use specialised construction equipment to carry them out. This means that the tree can be dug up with the right amount of roots and soil, transported to the new location and planted in the prepared soil in the new garden.
Best time for repotting
Large trees are best repotted in spring and autumn, when temperatures are cooler and water evaporates more slowly from the plant. The time to do this is autumn, when the tree's circulating juices have already gone down to its roots, and the tree has a few months to acclimatise to its new location before it starts putting up new leaves again in spring. If there is no other option, it is also possible to repot during the summer, but this requires moving the plant with a larger block of soil and then watering it generously every evening when it gets cooler. It is advisable to hire construction equipment such as cranes or excavators for transplanting large trees, and to find a gardening company that has extensive experience in carrying out this type of work. This way you can be sure that the transplanting will be carried out professionally and that your tree will take to its new location and become a wonderful decoration for your garden.
