  3. Transplanting Trees & Palms in the Urban Landscape

  4. Transplanting Trees “The size of trees that can be relocated is limited only by personal will and financial resources…” (Harris, Clark, & Matheny, 2004) Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski

  5. Transplanting Trees “As a general rule, small plants transplant more successfully” (Harris, Clark, & Matheny, 2004) Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski

  6. Methods of Transplanting • Ball-in Burlap • At least 10-12 times trunk diameter at 6” above soil • Depth determined by root density • Bare Root Ball • Frozen Root Ball* • Bare root* * Not in South Florida! Photo: Stephen Davis

  7. Transplanting – Time of Year • Year-round in South Florida • Spring - move before top growth begins Photo: Joe Murray, Treebio.com, Bugwood.org

  8. Transplanting - After • Mature trees need to re-establish in new location – 3-4 months per 1” caliper - Very similar to planting young trees! • Ensure first order root is 10% height of rootball above grade • Provide adequate irrigation Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski

  9. Transplanting Palms

  10. Transplanting Palms • Usually, root pruning isn’t necessary, except for valuable or difficult to transplant palms (4-6 weeks prior) • Root ball should extend 8 inches beyond trunk for single palms less than 16 ft. tall • Circling roots in palms – not a concern • Dig moistened soil by hand or spade • Keep root balls moist Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski

  11. Transporting Palms • Remove ½ - 2/3 of oldest fronds prior to moving to reduce surface area (water loss) • Remaining fronds speed root regeneration • All fronds can be removed from Sabal palms Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski

  12. Transporting Palms • Remaining leaves should be tied together to prevent damage • Splints should be used for large trees with soft wood and heavy crown, or very slender palms • Large palms should only be lifted with slings Photo: UF Laura Sanagorski
