Moving Fruit Trees

4 responses

48 starts with ... Hi we have several fruit trees in good size pots they are about 1.5 mtr above the soil. Want to take them interstate on our next trip to plant in a garden that will eventually be where we will live. In the pots they are far to big to get in the SUV, wondered if i tip the soil onto a cut open sack and then tie that up and then slip the whole thing into a big plastic bag do you think they will survive ? Climate is cooler interstate to where we are now - one of the reasons for moving them. Thanks for any suggestions.

nickg says... Hi 48 depending how long you will be on the road! and what fruit trees they are! my suggestion take them out the pot, shake off as much soil as you can, cover the roots in wetted down coir block tightly cover with a plastic bag and they should be alright for prob 3-4 days.

48 says... Hi Nickg Will take us two nights three days, we have a mix of trees, finger lime, citrus, fig, dwarf Peach, dwarf cherry, as well as a few flowering trees. Thank you for the tip about Coir Block, would be such a shame to leave them behind.	About the Author 48 Echuca 29th March 2013 12:27pm #UserID: 7605 Posts: 5 View All 48's Edible Fruit Trees

48 says... Hi Nicg Yes that is what we are starting to think as well, if we do it in winter when there are few leaves it will cause less damage as well.	About the Author 48 Echuca 30th March 2013 1:53pm #UserID: 7605 Posts: 5 View All 48's Edible Fruit Trees
