can i transplant a conifer tree
Make sure the tree or shrub is a manageable size. Shrubs up to three ft. tall and trees one in. or less in diameter (measured six in. above the soil level) can be moved without digging a solid root ball. These and most plants three to four years old may be moved as bare root transplants.t is also essential when transplanting mature plants. A tree or shrub to be transplanted in fall should be root pruned in the spring before new buds appear. Plants to be transplanted in spring should be root pruned the previous fall after the leaves drop.
