Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Transplanting an established lychee tree
« on: June 01, 2023, 04:06:20 PM »The predigging is called "root pruning". This root pruning and moving will most likely require the guidance and work of a professional arborist/qualified landscape management company to ensure the highest success percenatges. I say thus because depending on the size of the tree, this may be very difficult. The survival of lychees can be very tempermental when digging up and moving. If the root pruning is not done correctly then the percentages of failure increases.
Also, based on the age of the tree mentioned, I would expect the cost to exceed the $300-$500 that zands stated.
My neighbor spent $2k to move a 20 year old sapodilla. It was a great tasting prolific tree. They moved it in one piece.
