I need to know the pros/cons of transplanting my olive tree or buying a new one.
I have a 20-40 year-old, 15ft olive tree that after we remodel our So. California house will be sitting in the driveway... I would prefer to relocate it about 20 feet instead of cutting it down and buying a new one.
Option 1 - Transplanting
* Received a quote of $2K, but there is no guarantee that it will survive. Would like recommendations of arborists that have done this before.
Option 2 - Buy a new tree
* Need a good size tree, but don't know where to get one. Scared as I know of somebody who paid $8K for an olive tree to be transported from Northern California to Southern California and it is half the size of mine.
We love our tree as my husband cures and cans the olives!!!!
Does anybody have any recommendations?
