The preparation
Transplanting a pine should not be a spontaneous decision, especially because it requires some preparation:
- a year earlier in August you dig a 50 cm deep trench around the pine. Maintain a distance of about 30 cm from the tree trunk
- depending on age and size, you have to expand this information
- Now pour ripe compost and loose soil into the trench. This way you loosen the roots. Your jaw will form a root ball that is easier to remove until next year

Instructions for transplanting
The final transplanting of the pine is done as follows:
- choose a day in late summer (August or September)
- You can protect small twigs from breaking off by tying them with a rope
- lay out the trench that has been made
- You can cut through any remaining roots with a groundbreaking ceremony
- also pay attention to the tap roots
- Now use a trench fork to remove the exposed root ball
- lift the jaws out of the earth
- dig a hole that is twice the diameter of the root ball
- ensure a loose soil in this
- fill the hole with compost and horn shavings
- then fill it with water that you allow to seep away completely
- put the pine in the ground
- fill the hole with earth and tread it firmly
- rewash properly
- cover the tree slice with a layer of mulch
Measures to get the pine used to the new location
It is very important to give more water in the first few weeks after transplanting the pine. If the needles turn brown or yellow, the roots are not able to supply the parts of the tree above ground. If necessary, cutting back can help.
