How does the tree survive once the tap root is cut? And how does it become stable again without one?

Great Video! Hello from Alberta.

who in so. calif. uses this machinery?

good job

What is your percentage of survival and having a thriving tree after a move of something that large? What are the realistic expectations for the tree at 2 years after move? Thanks for the video.

Stocker tree spade. 80"

Maples are an ugly tree I've cut down a lot of them, good for firewood that's about it that's if you can find one that isn't rotting from the inside out.

Primera vez que miro esto cuanto le ase falta mi tierra arboles esta todo arrais no ay reforestacion que tanto me gusta tambien he plantado pero tardan o se secan por falta de maquinaria

This begs the question... what is the mortality rate for the hired help?

What happens if he finds a big piece of stone hidden in the ground ?

First & foremost, I applaud the principle and practice of relocating valuable trees. That said, would it not make more sense to wrap the branches and foliage BEFORE lifting the tree out and on to the truck? An adapted/redesigned baling (plastic wrap) machine would do the job.

Your potato needs a new lens.

it never fully showed it taking tree out or putting it back in. all it showed how it dug a hole.

Relocate the assholes, not the trees!

That has to be done on damp ground.That spade wouldn't dig under drought conditions unless you used a lot of water before hand.Just sayin.

Awesome. Sure beats a number of us using shovels to move a tree. ;)

Still looks like a tiny rootball for the size of the tree.

thats pretty cool, i'm curious what the mortality rates are for the relocated trees

OK where's my spade ...

I have never seen such a waste of money on machinery and labour all to move a tree. What a complete waste of time

I see people here talking about losing hair root. Well, I think you'd better chop the tree???

How about the hair root after cutting? Lots of hair root tree need are out of the cutting cycle. If you vedio have the data after moving will be great.

Although a great way to save a tree, I wonder how long it would take for lateral roots to grow past the bowl shape that has been made by the machine so as the tree can support itself should a wind blow it over, especially if its 45 feet high.

Het is groots

Interesting video...thought the editing and narrative was really lacking, not to mention the resolution sucks. So here is what I think. I was an oiler on a 78" diameter, four spade, tree spade and worked in a tree nursery for several years, so I know a few things about transplanting trees. First of all, if you are going to spade' transplant a tree that is big, it is a smart practice to go in with the tree spade at least two years prior to actually moving it and root prune it. Root pruning with a tree spade is where you go in and position the spade exactly as you would if you were going to move it, but after the spades are all the way down and have cut through the roots, raise up the spades and unlock the cradle and pull away from it, leaving it in place exactly where it was growing. Root pruning a few years before moving a tree is critical for Maple trees that are 8" or more in caliper. Trust me on this one, any tree nursery that is legit will root prune their trees that are beyond sapling size which they wish to grow to an established size or larger, such as the one here, mature sized. This can be done with best results in early Autumn, before the leaves turn color and before they have begun to send their energy back down to the roots, well before they have fallen. Root pruning after the leaves have come down is counter-beneficial, because the energy sent down below ground into the tree's root system will be mostly beyond the cut roots that remain attached, those that make up the conical "root ball" that result from the pruning, thus depriving the tree of its stores of food and energy that are stored in the roots away from the cuts for the next growing season. This is very risky business to spade a tree this large, even with this large of a diameter spade. Once moved, the tree must be tethered to supporting posts of substantial size to keep it from toppling over in storms, high winds, etcetera. The tethers should be high strength stranded steel cables with turnbuckles that allow for adjustments and tensions to be kept at optimal forces on the trunk, and the cables need to be filtered with something so that that do not cut the trunk. This not only helps the tree remain vertical, but it also is important for root growth, as the roots will thrive when the root ball is stationary and not being torsioned by the movements of the above ground, tree. Unstaked trees will grow roots, but those new roots are tender and the greater movement beneath the soil from no staking support will impede new root growth from flourishing. Stakes probably need to remain installed for many years, so it is critical to inspect the harnesses and make sure they are not girdling the trunk Additionally, it is going to require a great amount of supplemental watering and fertilizing for years to come. All of the watering is going to make the ground softer and looser. The soil pressures of the ground that has been disturbed during the transplanting at the new tree's site will not increase as fast and the tree could easily get tipped by winds. The tie posts should be very stout and embedded very deep...thinking at least three steel stakes of two or three inch (Heavy schedule steel), ten to 12 feet long, radiating around the trunk, embedded to four to six feet at angles away from the trunk is not overkill. This tree is 44' tall and has a huge caliper. I doubt they root pruned this tree and if it lived, it will probably not grow noticeably for decades. It may put out new leaves in the Spring, but the expansion of the crown and overall height and caliper will not change hardly at all for at least ten years, probably more like 20+, due to the fact that the tree will be sending an overwhelming majority of foods', nutrients and water to the root system to replenish it in an attempt to get them to grow back to the proportions of the above ground mass that was present before moving.

Jesus hell. Even on a video when the damn tree is still alive you naturist fucks still find something to bitch about.

a billion people want to PLANT A TREE..... U DO IT,EVERY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! speechless over this.van damned tastic job !!!!!

Unbelievably amazing, I thought I had seen it all! Soooooooooooooooooooooo CCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

how much does it cost to move a tree this size?

whats the cost????

that is without a doubt the shittiest editing of a video I’ve ever seen.

About time there is someone who says "Save my tree" or "My tree is coming with me", instead of cut, cut - chop, chop, dig dig. It's nice to know there are people who like trees. Well done guys. Nice video. By the way, seeing that tree roots are widespread, I believe this machine cuts some roots. Does the tree survive from cut roots and transportation?

Im all for saving tree but this process is waaaay to expensive

Instant shade, Think about how many trees this machine saves! Instead of cutting down a tree you can simply move it.

I can imagine stoners going nuts if they see all that green wrapped up like that

Damn look how happy that tree is.

в россии она нахуй не нужна

what a powerful machine ! great for removing stumps too ill bet ...

No most species do not have a tap root. That machine is just a very big version of the spades that nurseries use. Trees that how in very arid, very sandy areas will develop deeper root systems.

This is remarkable! Human ingenuity NEVER ceases to amaze me!

CAN WE MOVE COCONUT TREE ALSO.....................PPP

Mauvais montage vidéo, c'est désordonné.

That only works with certain species. Most of the trees have deep root!

How expensive is that?

I had nightmares.

Yes very good! You will be putting an ash tray on a motorcycle next

Updates are expected a couple of years later on the tree survival. If this did not work however, then why do we make these machines to do this work? How much did this cost?

why...? what...? dont they grow all by themself
