I scooted down the hillside, to the edge the cliff surrounding the little waterfall. Without this tree, these photos would have not been possible. Thank ya lil' tree, for keeping me safe. =P heh

TREE HELP!

I live in the Cincinnati area of Ohio. I have a giant, beautiful tree in front of my house.  It is healthy, strong, and provides homes to birds and squirrels.  It provides shade.  It's a great tree. So, there's my starting point.  But being the size that it is, it's growing down into the sewer, and busting it up.  It's causing problems in the house, and out in front of it. I've considered cutting the roots that pose the problems, but I am certain that it would make the tree unstable, and cause it to fall over onto the street or onto my house.  I really don't want to have to cut it down, but it looks like that is the only option. Does anyone know of a better option?  Is there anyone out there who could remove it, and replant it in a forested area, or something?  I would really, really rather not kill it. PLEASE.  If anyone has an idea for how to save the tree, or has the ability to rescue it by transplanting it, message me.  

Please repost, to save the tree.

The Best time of year to transplant trees

The fact is that all the trees known can be transplanted, but another fact is that it is not very easy as it seems to be!! There are various things to be kept in mind before going for a tree transplant.

·         Young plants can be transplanted much easily than the older ones.

·         Shrubs are better transplanted than trees.

·         Evergreen trees are difficult to transplant as compared to the deciduous ones.

Direction to the sun, soil type, exposure to winds, neighbor plants and trees, moisture in air and soil, etc. are some points which would need special attention while making a tree transplant.

Smaller plants should be transplanted as roots. The roots should be carefully spread, to avoid entangling of them.  The ideal time to plant trees and shrubs is during the dormant season and in the fall after leaf drop or early spring before bud break. Spring is the best season for tree transplanting universally. In tropical and subtropical climates where trees grow year round, any time is a good time to plant a tree, provided that sufficient water is available. 

But still, different weather and soil conditions can affect the transplantation time. For example: The time of tree transplanting in Illinois may vary from that of Vancouver.

If we will just suddenly dig a tree up and move it, it would lose a lot of its root system. We have to encourage the development of more roots closer to the trunk of the tree so that when we dig it up later, it will have a more developed root system that can be moved with it to the new location. We need to feed the tree with something high in phosphorous. This will encourage roots to develop closer to the trunk of the tree which will consequently help in better transplantation.
