I did the same thing a couple of years ago and mine are doing very well. Hope you have the same good fortune.

My transplants are doing very well and i'm going to do a couple more this year.I have a four acre yard with hardly any trees. After spending several hundred dollars over the last 18 years on trees and having all of them die i decided i was'nt going to spend any more money on trees. I live in Ashtabula, about 30 mi. west of you and the soil in my area is all clay and i just could'nt get any trees to take. The ones i transplanted were about 4' when i moved them. Good luck on yours Mattflew. GaryRtom45 said:Not sure why anyone would move silver maples into their yard. After just a couple years the surface roots will get to be a real problem, not to mention the trees are dirty and fall color is not great. I hope for your sake the transplants don't take.

Thanks, Brian
