transplant Cedar of Lebanon


Question
Hi, I have a question about a cedar of lebanon that I cant find the info to
anywhere.  I planted a cedar of lebanon in my yard in town in 2007.  It is
about 3.5 feet tall and growing well.  The problem is, we just bought a house
in the country and I need to dig it up and transplant it on the property in late
November.  I have heard that they are difficult to transplant.  Should I plant it
in a 5 gal. bucket and leave it in the bucket over winter and put it in the
ground in the Spring?  How wide around and how deep should I dig?  I would
really appreciate any help you could possibly give me!  This tree is really
special to me, and I would hate for it to die.

Answer
Hi Kyle,
Thank you for your question.  Rather than take any unnecessary chances, allow me to refer you to our Allexperts Tree Expert, Mr. Jim Hyland.  Mr. Hyland has many years experience with the U.S. Forestry Service and with regard to trees, his expertise far exceeds mine.  If you will go back to Home/Gardening and click on Trees and then click on Trees again, you'll find Jim.  I hope this helps.
Tom
