J. Roger Harris and Nina L. Bassuk
Abstract: Transplanting imposes severe physiological stress because over 95% of the root system is removed when the tree is dug. The landscape designer and contractor can make decisions that will improve the chances of success. Advantages and disadvantages of purchasing trees produced by different production methods are discussed from the landscape contractor's point of view. Current research concerning key steps in the planting process is reviewed, and recommendations are made.
