When moving a tree, it is important to pay special attention to the tree's roots. There are a few steps that can be taken before you even begin the removal process. A good, thorough watering can help reduce the stress to the tree's roots, as can pruning distressed or diseased limbs. Additionally, before you dig up the tree, you might want to inject the roots with a fertilizer additive that can help enhance root growth.

It is also very important to dig a proper hole for the tree's root ball. Over-trimming the root ball can cause undue stress to the tree, and this can ultimately harm or stunt the tree's growth and adaptation to its new environment. Once the tree has been planted in its new home, it is important to give it proper care. For instance, newly replanted trees need proper watering--too much or too little water can damage the roots.
