Here is the BEST thing to do. Find a tree nursery that is well established and sells unique hard to find trees. Go to the woods next to the property it will have TONS of invasive tree saplings from the nursery tree seeds being moved by animals or wind. I got a 5ft japanese maple that looks like a banzai because the sun couldnt reqch the plant so it grew in crazy to make its way up to get the most lite. I looked at a tree that was the same size at the nursery and it cost 499. I got mine free. It did however take quite a while to dig up thr tree. Since it was quite a few years old the rroots were pretty deep. About a half hour of careful digging and a disgarded bucket from the nurcery and i got a great tree. Going back to see if i can find a dawn redwood as they have a huge growing in the woods.
I’ve been having the best time hunting for saplings. Last week I found a little baby live oak tree and feel like I won the lottery. lol You had a great idea. I may have to try that, thanks.
Gonna be hard to dig up the concrete around a sapling, or whatever you call a tree that's close to 3ft. It's growing between my garage, and patio slab. My thoughts are heavily water what little bit of soil is present, and try to gently pull the tree up.
oak tree seedlings are very fragile and dont like to be transplanted. i have a bunch growing in a pot, im dreading trying to separate them from each other in the spring, hope i dont kill them
Hopefully you don’t get those darned emerald ash borers - they decimate and kill ash trees in my area. If you are even close to the EAB infested areas, I would suggest looking up the systemic treatment that is used to protect ash trees (and maybe use it with yours).
I want to plant about an acre of hardwoods, around 600 trees. I have been considering buying bare root seedling as well as transplating seedlings and have been wondering how to effectively do it. I could see doing a few hundred this way provided I can find enough of them.
That sounds like a wonderful project. Consider grouping the species together as they will share their root system and help each other to survive the conditions which nature is sure to throw at them. Best of luck on this worthwhile endeavour!
@@SaveMoneyTV hello 👋 😄 I'm so curious... What if a storm.. you have a fruit tree split then it splintered and you were rooting a whole bunch and they rooted and they're in the same family as that tree and you tried grafted and putting it together?
This is a great video. I was wondering though if you had any videos/advice on how to make sure the little tree sappling you found gets big enough to transplant. Or just what i should look up to get going. Most things i have found so far are just on how to care for large sapplings. I found a tiny shoot in my yard that im pretty sure is an eastern redbud and i would really like to make sure it stays alive till the fall so i can transplant it. Its in the corner of my yard right up against my house so ill have to move it eventually anyways. I tend to spray hose water in that area to keep the "weeds" watered. My first instinct is to just keep doing what im doing but is there any added measures i should take like maybe putting something around it to keep animals away?
I always have lots of plum seedlings when plums that fallen from trees germinated. I wait till fall to transplant them but they don't make it to the fall because of heat of summer. Can I transplant them as soon as they start emerging from soil in late spring/early summer?
Great question. If I transplant in spring I don't use anything, I just make sure they get water daily. If I were transplanting in the fall I'd use some "tree rooting hormone".
I'm in Indiana. Can I dig up that 3 ft seedling growing right next to the house in winter (it's January now) if the ground is not frozen? I assume yes...I believe you are farther North (MI), may not be possible there.
This is exactly what I’m trying to find info on! I’ve been digging up 3-4’ trees of all sorts and most are drying up and dying. It’s way harder digging up bigger tree due to deeper roots that almost always get broken off somewhere. It’s wierd cuz some that I dug up that were shoots off a main thick root I broke in half are actually doing better then the solo seed grown trees. It’s fascinating and I love digging up trees for our new 10 acre naked property. It’s tough tho!
This time of year, wait until the tree is dormant, but before the first frost. It's a pretty good side, so dig wide and deep and try to preserve as much of the tap, heart, and lateral roots as possible. Good luck! blog.davey.com/when-is-the-best-time-to-transplant-trees-pine-oak-maple-and-fruit/
Yes, they should grow. Success also depends on the time of year and your geography. Success rate is very high if done in spring or fall. It's important that the soil is kept constantly moist.

You're a genius, thank you.

Awesome video, had a small oak seedling too close to my house and had a perfect spot to move it to, but didn't want to kill it. Thank you so much
Thanks Warren, glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the video! I have a live oak sappling that decided to spring up in a really bad place. Going to try and transplant it this fall.
Good luck!
How did it go?
@@carlosavila2787 Poorly. Dug him up, tossed him into a pot. Kept him watered all summer.
He seemed ok at fall, so I planted him. Died this spring.
why doesn't this video have more views? great quality!
Thank you Mike. Glad you like it!

Excellent advice...will be transplanting Mountain Ash seedlings next month...September.
Best of luck!

I will try today I have like 40 tree baby's in the back yard. Thank you for your knowledge 🙏
That's wonderful, good luck!

Fantastic video, been browsing this topic for a while now, this was the best demonstration. Gonna use your method for my future trees! Thanks

thank you am watching a oak sapling that am planing on moving in a few months
Best of luck!

Hey thanks, man. I have an elm sapling growing right in my lily bed 😱😱😱 Now its going in the backyard property line 👌
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your time
My pleasure. Good luck!
wonderful little video
Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Great information. Do you use any type of tree food the first few weeks after the transplanting? If so, what do you use?
Great question. If I transplant in spring I don't use anything, I just make sure they get water daily. If I were transplanting in the fall I'd use some "tree rooting hormone".
Good soil!
Right you are! In the the basin of the Great Lakes with 18" of topsoil. :-) Thanks for watching!
Absolutely positively great video!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

great video thank you!

That “blue spruce” looks like a Juniper
You are absolutely correct! It took me until this spring to realize it. :-)

I have a red maple growing up near my foundation. It is about 6 feet all. Is it too late to transplant?
This time of year, wait until the tree is dormant, but before the first frost. It's a pretty good side, so dig wide and deep and try to preserve as much of the tap, heart, and lateral roots as possible. Good luck!

@@SaveMoneyTV Just had our first frost 2 nights ago gah! It is going back up to the 80's this weekend. dormant meaning leaves fall off I assume
will my tress grow if i did this?
Yes, they should grow. Success also depends on the time of year and your geography. Success rate is very high if done in spring or fall. It's important that the soil is kept constantly moist.
Id use cardboard instead of fabric and put 3 inches of wood chip on top.
I love the wood chip idea, and I'm curious...why cardboard?
Mine are all sitting underneath a spruce tree so this will be difficult.
Good luck!
