Moving Trees - Recommendations

[DoryGray]

Professionals dig a deep circular trench about a yard or more around the tree a week or so before actually moving. It gives the tree time to adapt, instead of doing it all at once. I moved a 15' high monkeypod that way & covered the roots in rootone, mulch & liquid fertilizer. It has to be solidly planted w/ rocks holding it in place & soaker hose watered for about a week. It's doing great, very happy.
