Comparison of Bare-Root Versus Tree Spade Transplanting of Boulevard Trees    (View PDF)

D.E. Vanstone and W.G. Ronald

Abstract: Dormant trees of green ash, black ash, hackberry and Amur cherry were transplanted along residential streets either by means of a 110 cm tree spade or bare-rooted and small trees were transplanted bare-rooted only. First season's shoot growth and leaf size of spaded trees was four to ten times larger than on comparable sized bare-rooted trees and approximately twice as large as small bare-rooted trees. Growth during the second season of small bare-rooted trees was greater than that of larger trees regardless of transplant method. Amur cherry was the only species in this study which showed losses due to transplant shock during the first year. One large tree each of green ash and black ash transplanted bare-rooted was lost during the second year.
