[QUOTE="jomoco, post: 2146415, member: 11823"] Not with fruit trees, but with young oak trees(Q. agrifolia), using a Big John 90 inch treespade no less. Simply prune the minimal lateral radius needed to facilitate transport of the trees. I've heard Richard Harris talk about semi-girdling of old orchard trees to shock them into regrowth mode to get more mileage and fruit out of older trees. Like most transplants, a small percentage of them probably won't survive the shock, pre-shocking them before transplant to determine their hardiness kinda makes sense. jomoco [/QUOTE]
