and moved it a whole 100 yards and in a couple months goin back to move it back to where it was after they get done with the building they are puttin up
that is an expensive tree. I have my doubts though if it will survive the ordeal. A tree that size has a huge root system that is depends on. I assume it will be tethered for a few years after replanting? that is pretty dang neat though!!!
This is not the first tree we have moved for this company...Valley Crest Tree Company moves hundreds of trees a year...and we do maybe 10+ a year for them...but this one is by far the biggest we have moved for them. Most of the time we use a single truck with a trailer that has a 10ft wide deck.
They like there trees in CA I have never seen one that big moved the biggest was maybe 40'. What did they say it weighed?
The more I look at that pic the more amazed I am. That is very impressive. I never knew that a tree that big could be moved. What is involved in the process?
Well I guess in this world as long as you have the money anything is possible.
I read about this in one of my trade magazines, I don't remember which one.
Didn't I watch an episode of "Megamovers" that moved a tree this big?
According to the crane operator it was 160,000lbs
Nice :drinkup
that was with a treespade tho...
Damn!
crazy
What kind of tree is that. If its hardwood I'm thinkin furniture!:thumbsup
Its a Oak tree
Yep, furniture!
If the treehuggers are willing to pay, why not? I would be curious on the survivial rate.
Not sure if i belive it or not but they say 90%:beatsme
