Is it possible to move oak tree that is few years old about 8 or 9 foot tall
and is about 2" at base? if so, how?
Oak trees should only be moved when they are dormant in the fall & all
their leaves have dropped off.


Hey, know nothing... why don't you STFU... oak trees don't lose all
their leaves until spring.


If done with care any tree can be replanted with success any time
during the year. �Fall is the best time to plant, regardless about
leaves, because the ground is cool and damp, ideal conditions for
plants to get a new start. �But there's no reason a tree can't be
moved during a midsummer drought. Beech trees hold their leaves all
winter too but they can be replanted any time.


What you said might apply where you live but not everywhere.


No one cares about you... the tree in question is in Minniesoda
