LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, September 17



Executing a Landscape Renovation
Successful Transplanting

Two critical factors when moving plants:
  1. The right time of year relative to their growth cycles,  The best time to move plants is when they are dormant. Midwinter in metro-Atlanta.
  2. Dig and take as much of the root system as possible, above all do not allow it to crack in half. Root prune the plant a few months ahead of time roots will regenerate in place, and be more compact when the tree is actually moved. Crabapple LandscapExperts take as much of the root system as can be dragged or lifted and take care that the root ball does not split.
