Tree Spade

A tree spade is a specialized piece of equipment used for transplanting large trees. It features a set of blades that encircle the tree, digging into the ground to lift the tree and its root ball intact. Tree spades are essential in landscaping when moving established trees from one location to another, ensuring the tree’s roots remain undisturbed and the tree can be replanted successfully. They come in various sizes, from smaller models for use with tractors to larger, truck-mounted versions for transplanting mature trees. Tree spades are vital for large-scale landscaping projects, where preserving established trees is a priority.
