There is a lot to talk about in the lawn and landscape world on this beautiful day in the Midwest. Later this week I will update everyone on how fruit trees fared during the ice and snow this past weekend. I may have good news to share, but I need to consult with a few more people.
Today, I want to write about a tree we recently transplanted. At our office in Overland Park, we had a blue spruce that had started to grow into the building. Instead of removing it, we transplanted it to a better location.
It is best to transplant large trees in late fall or early spring to give them ample time to adjust to their new home before summer's heat hits. We bare root planted this tree, a planting method that was popular a few decades ago and is seeing a resurgence. You can read more about it here .
Since the roots need time to establish, we staked this tree. We will likely remove the stakes a year from now.
