Moving a Large Holly Tree with a Tree Spade

Professional Equipment Needed for Transplanting a 20-Foot Holly

Relocating a 20-foot tall, 10-foot wide holly tree requires a mechanical tree spade (e.g., Vermeer or Lemar). These machines cut a large root ball, preserving the root system. Contact local dealers via Vermeer's locator (vermeerag.findlocation.com) or Lemar (1-866-948-9852) for quotes. Cost depends on tree size, access, and distance.

Considerations

Ensure the new site has adequate space, drainage, and similar light conditions. Transplant in early spring or fall. Professional operation is essential for survival.
