How to dig up fruit trees without damaging the roots. Apple tree.

In this video I show my method of digging up fruit trees for replanting. This is the best method to minimize root damage.
Here is the digging Fork I would recommend.

You just taught me so many important things. Thank you so much. I want to move two apple trees that I planted a few years ago.

Regarding your closing advice on "when" to transplant, I just uprooted an almost 2 yr old(planted from container) Arkansas Black,, after massive rains and water logged soil build up to Easter Day. Was planted too even to surrounding clay laden soil(even though i made a $500 dollar wide hole-It ultimately didn't matter. Tree already leafed out but I gave it a good hail Mary with not much choice available. Suspected Phytophthora as well. Everything that could possibly kill the tree is present, I even pruned it a bit after the transplant, lol. Ill report back next year if it survived. I doused /soaked the root ball with a hydrogen peroxide /water mix prior to transplant and later did a soil drench with Garden Phos. I went to war with the tree! The taste of the 2 apples that appeared suprisingly the first year made me fall in love with her, so I had to go to war. Transplant was on Easter weekend. Jury is still way out on the horizon at the moment

Excellent and very informative video. Best I have seen on this subject

Also if you have trouble with Japanese beetles or other grubs you'll want to shake most of the dirt off before moving.

This was super helpful. I planted some 6ft tall apple trees last spring: Red Baron, Red Dutchess, and Sweet 16 on full sized root stock so their mature size will vary between 15-22ft tall by about 12-15ft spread. Unfortunately I only spaced the trees 12ft apart due to lack of research and forethought for my garden layout. I have tons of space so I’m going to relocate them this spring before the breach dormancy and space them with ample room to grow in an area where they won’t shade out my full sun crops.

Depending on how tough the soil, a DynaDiggr might be good for you!

Well… there is a house being demolished and a wee crabapple tree that I’m going to try to get and transplant so hopefully it will work.

I planted fruit trees: granadilla, peaches, lemons, fig trees and now we're relocating. I want to uproot them but they already budded and starting to produce fruit. How best can deal this?
