Hi to All!
I wanted to have some few doubts cleared up. The 'NATIONAL HIGHWAY' road in my hometown is being broadened. Because of these reason, the trees on the way are being cut down. Is there any way that these trees can be bodily transported and planted in a new location... in other words.. Replantation

I have heard of trees being moved and how well this works would depend on the species. The tree would be severely damaged. You would be better off planting new trees.

Yeah, would really depend on the species as to how successful this would be. Have you got any more details?

It does depend on the species but natives generally do not transplant well and most gums if not all will die.
European trees do. These trees generally have a shallow root system given their climate is wetter. Birch and Maple the easiest as both come from soggy wet climates in both the EU and USA. The other positive with European trees are they are deciduous. Moving them in winter in an easy task. Natives have very deep roots and this is why when planting, care must be taken to dig a very deep hole and make certain the tap root is pointing down. If not the tree will die in drought, be easily ripped out of the ground in high winds and may take on a twisted low growing form. Only the Baobab can be transplanted AFAIK, they hibernate during the dry season so like deciduous trees they can easily survive with good care. A good place to see gum trees and root depth is in the mine shafts of Warrendyte Vic. 70 meters down and tree roots everywhere.. This post has been edited by Red: Feb 14 2009, 02:50 PM
