What is the survival rate of newly transplanted trees?
When we transplant a tree we match the size of the tree to the appropriate tree spade for a successful transplant. The industry standard is 1:10. ( 10 inches of rootball for every inch of trunk caliper) Example: You have a tree that measures 7 3/4 inches in diameter, you will need to transplant this tree with a 78″ rootball, we will use our 90″ diameter tree spade and take more rootball than necessary. When staying inside of these parameters you can expect a transplant success rate of 95% +.
