I am working on a job in eastern tenn. where they have moved a building site to where there are 3 -40 to 60 foot magnolias. I have been told to try to move them within the month (febuary 06) any hints?
a 40 foot tree needs specific tools and machinery in order to try to move it. along with a whole bunch of experience. and Ron is right, as usual, it certainly wont be cheap. You could try posting a message at one of two sites that are specifically geared to arborists and tree industry (as long as the Mods here dont mind) http://gypoclimber.com/treehouse/portal.php http://www.treebuzz.com and you may find a local person or company, or at the least some feedback from someone that may have experience with this type of task.
