Thanks for all the advice. I have an avenue that is about 1400 ft long to my house. There are a number of oak, walnut, black cherry, red cedar, holly growing wild on the farm that have come up from seed. My goal was to move a number of these trees to line the sides of the avenue and after establishing a variety of these trees, start to fill in with understory trees like crape myrtle, dogwood, camelias etc. Would you think it would be better when digging the tree, to first dig a hole with the hoe at the drip line of the tree and then drop the hoe in the hole at a 90 degree angle and scoop out the tree or should I just scoop it out with the bucket with one scoop. I"m assuming the tap root goes down a fair ways even on smaller caliper trees. Thanks again for the thoughts.
