The best time for transplanting

It is best to transplant Thuja Smaragd in spring. Then the tree of life has enough time until winter to regenerate.

Dig up Thuja Smaragd

Cut out the earth around the tree of life. Depending on the size of the Thuja Smaragd, the distance from the trunk should be up to one meter.

Then carefully guide a digging fork under the root ball and try to lift it.

Pull the tree of life out of the ground so that as few roots as possible are bent or damaged.

Prepare new location

The new location for the hedge should be as sunny as possible and a little windless.

Dig a planting hole twice the size of the root ball. Loosen the soil deeply and remove all thickenings.

Mix compost, horn shavings (€32.93) or deposited manure under the substrate.

Plant Thuja Smaragd again

Carefully plant the tree of life so that as few roots as possible are kinked. Fill in the planting hole and tread down the soil firmly.

Then water the hedge or single tree well. Water for several weeks until the roots recover from moving stress.

tips

If the Thuja Smaragd has to be transported for a long time after digging up, cover the root ball with sufficient soil in sacking. Then it won't dry out as quickly.
