This picture was taken last summer and shows a double row of trees planted much too close together. These trees are on the northwest corner of our lot. There are 11 maple trees planted about 10 ft apart and 12 ft from the line of evergreens. I wanted to move them last spring, but didn't know where to put them.
Earlier this spring, I did some root pruning - using my shovel and just pushing it all the way down in a 4 to 5 ft diameter circle around the trees. This is supposed to help make it easier on the tree.
Their new leaves haven't sprouted just yet, so it is a good time to move them. We moved two of the best red maples to their new homes and plan to move another one tomorrow.
