An update from the homeowner…. Yes all the trees are still alive and thriving! The pine is an umbrella pine and a beautiful tree! We are so thankful to ATOH crew for the hard work and amazing job that they did!
I could watch and listen to Roger all day, every day. I wish there was a Roger playlist with every single thing he's ever done, I'd watch them all! This is a beautiful way to handle trees.
Nurseries fail to do an important and simple thing to avoid losing trees to shock. They fail to flag the south side of the tree before they dig it up. If you flag the south side of the tree before you dig it up and are careful to keep that orientation when you plant it you will suffer a lot fewer deaths due to shock. ..

It would of been way cheaper to hire someone with a tree spade. But I am glad you told her to water her trees. We get sooooooooo many people who claim they water their trees but you can clearly tell it haven't been watered at all lol
How did they get the burlap under the pine? They probably tipped it, but it would have been better to show the difficulty. They make these big jobs look too easy by not showing every step.
Heck with shovels. I'd have one of those trucks with the big tree grabbers hanging off the back, plunge into the ground and pick up that whole tree with the dirt and drive it to its new home.

That pine is at least 10 years old, probably more. You can cut it down and plant a new one but that doesn't bring those 10 years back. You can't purchase the time.
The older a tree that more likely it would die you are basically cutting half of the tree when transplanting the roots is as wide as the crown of a tree.
I am wanting to move a 60 year old conifir horizontalis.. I was going to move it in spring , I was going to feed and water it for a few months cut some foiliage off to help it and then dig it out. However i quite like the air technique. Any advice from anyone has to how to move my horizontalis? My late Dad planted so I want to move it away from my pool as my pool is constantly green in summer from it.😮
This is a ton of work and money for these trees. However I think it’s important to note transplanting trees of this size is difficult and there is a good chance the tree doesn’t survive. It may live a year or two but will not make it much longer.
Nah, if you dig them at the right time of year, and know how much root to take you’ll do just fine. But you’re right, it is difficult until you know what you’re doing. My companies been transplanting mature trees for over 20 years and have had only a handful of large trees that didn’t survive, and this was almost entirely due to over/under watering. That said the umbrella pine was worth the expense, that’s an expensive plant at 5” caliper. Airspading a multi-stem heritage river birch is not worth the effort IMO.
@@brooksday8407 hi! I am also curious if you know the cost for a project like this. I realize it will depend on several factors like tree size and the region of the country; ballpark…$10k? $20k? 50k?
@@amilbyleckie7936very interesting. Now I'm curious, what time of year is best to transplant a 10 year old pine tree, 9 inch caliper? Is anytime ok as long as excavated root ball is large ie. maintain the 1:10 ratio, and of course proper watering? In other words good chance of success even in summer if you do everything else properly?
Looks like you moved the pine tree with quite a bit of soil on the root ball, and didn't remove much with the compressed air tool(??). Not sure why you used the phrase, "Bare root transplant". I figured the main purpose was to minimize the weight of the tree (as well as allow fertilizer/new soil to be closer to the root ball), so a bit confused why the root ball wasn't actually "bare". Thanks for the video.
They are also different types of trees as far as dynamic leaf/needle mass is concerned. One is evergreen, one is deciduous (naturally losing leaves during fall and winter months). It looks like rootballs and the major roots on the Pine were kept intact, and even though a bit of soil was lost on the air spaded tree, no trunk damage happened to it or the Pine. And one presumes follow up watering and drainage were good, and the trees were able to re-establish. (Follow up video would be nice)
That is way too much work for the average person to do in order to move a tree you are better off just cutting your losses and cutting it down you can also buy trees that are further developed if that is your concern when you plant a new one

What do you mean by flag?

Nice job on the accent.

Too funny..great accent!

They use 2 pieces of burlap there is no burlap underneath
wonderful idea
How did they dig under the tree to get the burlap through?
they stapled two burlaps together around it?

Whaaaa?! no taaarrrhhhpp for the soil youre digging up?!
How do you avoid killing it when u have to cut the tap root
Wait they kept it on the same property? What does it cost to move mature trees from your old home to your new home?
Yes, same property. Just moved some feet away.
Bill Burr would love this guy's accent. Staaaaaht!

Absolutely hard work! Amazing stuff.
I assume you had to cut the tap roots right underneath. does that have a impact?
Awesome, but that looks hella expensive!
was it really worth all that mess and cost to move a tree of that size? I figured maybe a much older tree would be worth it. Oh well.

Very interesting.

what time in the video i cant find it
Hey Matthew, 3:00 she asked if they were making good time ! That's when he replied
very nice work.
Soooo..... An 8 man crew and multiple pieces of heavy equipment equallying no doubt thousands of dollars to transplant 2 trees? ...

The umbrella pine was balled and burlaped (aka b&b), the birch was bare root. They showed different techniques.
They are also different types of trees as far as dynamic leaf/needle mass is concerned. One is evergreen, one is deciduous (naturally losing leaves during fall and winter months). It looks like rootballs and the major roots on the Pine were kept intact, and even though a bit of soil was lost on the air spaded tree, no trunk damage happened to it or the Pine.

Can you do this inJuly?
Christ, that birch was some job!.
Hey rawguh, how do I get staaaahhhhted??
Wow that looks like a lot of work. Personally I would have just cut down.
If you have several thousand dollars kicking around to throw at this then it's not hard work at all!
Excellent :)
The real question: what strain are these home owners smoking? 🙋♂️
Yeah… I’m just gonna plant a new tree
They have a vid on here where they moved a 100 year old or more Live Oak, incredible feat. Check it out
Not a video. But only pics
Add some staaataaah fuhhhtahlayzahh
I have two newer machines but they almost work the same
Oh great another how to that includes expensive equipment I don’t have
Wow.... Remind me *'Never to move a Tree' ~ !*
3:58 his voice change lol
Burlap is a waist of time for a root ball that size. It aint falling apart with forks underneath it.
To much work for me. Looks good where it was
To do a big job like this.. hire a landscape professional. I almost killed my self helping a neighbor move a crape myrtle tree & leyland cypress.
Literally no after shots, lol, seriously?
It was going great until you can hear both of those guys accents. Out of hear at 1:38…
That is way too much work for the average person to do in order to move a tree you are better off just cutting your losses and cutting it down you can also buy trees that are further developed if that is your concern when you plant a new one
What a waste of money
Money well spent, NOT!
