A Review of the Effects of Transplant Timing on Landscape Establishment of Field-grown Deciduous Trees in Temperate Climates

Abstract: Prudent landscape professionals can enhance chances for successful establishment by timing tree transplant operations to coincide with ideal seasonal conditions. However, transplant timing is usually determined by economic factors, resulting in trees being transplanted at times that are unfavorable for their survival and growth. Knowledge of the effects of season of transplanting on the establishment of landscape trees can help assure the highest probability of success, especially since special post-tr… Show more

“…Time of year to transplant, may also explain the low survival rates. Many trees and grasses do well planted in the spring whereas others do better planted in the fall such that transplant time can be critical for successful establishment (Richardson-Calfee and Harris, 2005;Page and Bork, 2005). Therefore, a spring planting of C. kobomugi has potential to yield higher survival rates but some herbaceous plants (Fattorini, 2001) and grass species simply do not transport well regardless of the season (Glenn et al, 2001;Kering et al, 2012).…”

“…Proper handling is critical for any tree harvested with large root loss (Koeser et al, 2009). This is especially true for BR trees best planted during the narrow spring window when plants are still dormant (Richardson-Calfee and Harris, 2005;Richardson-Calfee et al, 2007) to avoid root drying, loss of vigor, and overall stress (Apostol et al, 2009). Irrigation frequency is the most critical step in establishing BR trees.…”

“…These results indicate that regeneration of more lower-order roots after transplanting in Q. bicolor could confer better drought resistance to this species by increasing root hydraulic conductance and supplying more water for canopy development. Transplant timing affects transplant success by influencing the potential for quick post-transplant root regeneration with its specific weather and light characteristics (Richardson-Calfee and Harris, 2005). Fine root K S in root-pruned large-caliper Q. macrocarpa trees decreased after transplanting regardless of the transplant season.…”

“…Carbohydrate reserves would be further restricted if carbon assimilation capacity of a tree is largely compromised in transplanting. Furthermore, each species has their specific range of rhizosphere conditions that are most suitable for root regeneration (Richardson-Calfee and Harris, 2005), which could also lead to the difference in optimal transplant timing between Q. bicolor and Q. macrocarpa although both of them are ring-porous species.…”
