How to transplant a tree?

There are tree species that are easier to transplant than others. Trees with shallow roots, fibrous, close to the trunk, are moved with greater success than those with few large roots. The growth patterns of roots are determined by the soil, its growth characteristics and the same species. Success is more shrubby trees with deciduous with evergreen plants and young trees to mature.

The types of plants can be used bare-root or root ball. However, the risk of failure is higher with the former and are hardly used. The trees are growing on land specially designed for the controlled growth of its root, as in the nursery, are more easily transplanted than those located in areas with poor soil and poor growing conditions.

Time to transplant:

Transplants should always be done when the plant is at rest, or in winter. Doing it in spring or summer is just leave the tree without roots in a time when the leaves and flowers are asking a lot of water. Late autumn can also be a good time, but not in Mediterranean areas, where autumns are warm and the plants continue to grow. In winter, avoid times of more cold and frost, as they increase the risk of failure.
