You can transplant trees at almost any age, but the older the tree, the more stressful the process becomes.
This tree, for example, was transplanted when it was about 11 years old.
See how tightly packed the growth rings are? For about four years after being moved, the tree struggled as it re-established its root system before it began growing vigorously again.
Yes, you can purchase and transplant fairly large trees.
However, you can also save money by planting a younger tree about the size of a broom handle.
Smaller trees establish themselves more easily, have a lower risk of mortality, and often catch up to larger, more expensive transplanted trees within just a few years. 👍
