make sure you get all of the root ball wraped in something that will keep it intact. put it in a well prepard hole with a small bit of time release fertillizer.if the tree does not flower this year ,you will have it in your new yard for next year.

Reply:How big is it? Long long has it been in it's spot? How long do you have to deal with the moving of it?





All these are factors. The smaller the tree, the shorter the time it's been in the ground, all mean a lower risk.





Transplanting when it's still dormant is best, and if it's only got buds, not leaves, you may be okay.





Spade straight down into the ground all around the trunk, in a circle big enough to get most of the root ball. As big as you think you can manage. Water. Wait 2-3 days, then spade again, trying to go a little deeper, and angling under the root ball toward the trunk as you go around. (again, the bigger the rootball you can manage, the better). Water. Wait 2-3 days. Then continue, removing the tree from the hole, move to its new location, plant, water well. And continue to water deeply once a week if there is no rain.





If the tree has put out leaves - the recommended way to move it and have the best shot at success it to strip off the leaves completely before you move it. It would pain me to do it - but it usually works. The reason trees die in moves is usually shock due to the water loss from having its roots cut. You can reduce the shock by reducing the water loss. Trees lose a lot of water through their leaves, and by removing them, the tree will be able to stay more hydrated. A tree can survive a complete de-foliation in one season without much ill effect. It will grow new leaves.
