Step by step instructions for transplanting a pine tree
Conifers can take on large proportions. If you steal the light from other plants in your garden or get too close to adjacent buildings, consider removing the tree. However, if you do not want to completely separate yourself from your jaw, you can also relocate. Young conifers are relatively easy to transplant, the older your jaw is, the more difficult the project is. If you follow the instructions on this page, you will still succeed in transplanting your jaws.
The preparation
The transplanting of a jaw should not be a spontaneous decision, especially because the implementation requires some preparation:
- Already a year before in August you dig a 50 cm deep ditch around the pine. Keep a distance of about 30 cm to the tree trunk depending on the age and size you need to expand this indication now pour mature compost as well as loose soil into the ditch. In this way you loosen the roots. Your jaw will form an easier to remove root ball until next year
Instructions for transplanting
The final transplanting of the jaw happens as follows:
- choose a day in late summer (August or September) Small branches protect you from breaking off by tying them together with a rope lay out the created ditch Still existing roots cut you through with a groundbreaking while you also take the taproots with you dug the jaw out of the soil dig a hole that has twice the diameter of the root ball in this for a loose soil fill the hole with compost and horn shavings then fill it with water that you completely infiltrate put the pine into the earth pour the hole with earth and kick it well firmly watering the tree cover with a layer of mulch
