moving a 15foot high weeping willow
With difficulty I would think, mainly due to the weight of the tree and
rootball. Never moved anything that big, but I imagine the usual rules for moving trees / shrubs apply. Dig a trench round the tree, sawing through the thick roots, down to about 2 feet, then start digging under it as far as you can get, then heave! I would thing you are going to need at least 4 strong people to lift and move it. As willows have wide-spreading roots you are going to loose a lot of them, so you will need to prune the tree back hard otherwise it will die from lack of water, it will need watering with several gallons a day untill it gets re-established. Earnest Trawler "R P McMurphy" wrote in message news is it possible? i have just bought a house with one slap bang in the middle of the garden and it blocks out the lovely view. id like to move it further away from the house and to the left of my garden. how do i go about it? rpm |
