Owner wants to move a 40-ft holly tree instead of cutting it down. Asks best time and soil type.
A 40-ft holly is too large for DIY transplanting. Requires a tree spade (e.g., Vermeer). Best time: early spring before growth or fall after leaf color change. Root ball: 9–12″ wide per inch trunk diameter, 6″ deep per inch. For a 12-inch trunk, that’s 108–144″ wide and 72″ deep – extremely heavy.
