HOW IT WORKS:

STEP 1

Find the new location for your tree. Position the spade at a defined direction, say North. Engage blades and scoop your hole.

 

How it Works Step 1

 

STEP 2

Align the spade with the tree in the same direction chosen for the hole—in this case, North.
Open blade, move forward to position tree in the center of the dig area. Engage blades until they meet.

 

How it Works Step 2

 

STEP 3

Lift the tree up and transport to the new hole. Note: In harder earth, the spades may cause glazing on the hole walls. Before the new tree is placed, this surface needs scuffing in order for the new roots to penetrate.

 

How it Works Step 3

 

STEP 4

Align the shaft with the orientation of the new hole. Lower and position the tree Note: Trees become more tolerant of hot afternoon sun on one side. Changing their orientation can burn the foliage.

 

How it Works Step 4

 

HOW TO BASKET:

STEP 1

Prepare root ball.

Flatten root ball for stability. Retract the spades a little at a time in a circular motion, until approx. 6" of the root ball is exposed below spades. Using a shovel remove the excess and flatten the root ball.

How it Works Step 1

 

STEP 2

Get basket ready.

Place your burlap liner in the wire basket and place the basket on level ground.

How it Works Step 2

 

STEP 3

Place in Basket

Line up the root ball with basket and lower into place. Retract the spades fully, until root ball is resting in basket. Remove the tree spade leaving tree in basket.

How it Works Step 3

 

STEP 4

Tie tree in place.

Fold in burlap and basket and tie tree into place.

How it Works Step 4
