I found this on the web:
Trenching
Trenching is a technique to encourage new feeder roots, the tiny hair-like roots that absorb moisture and nutrients from the soil, on a tree or shrub that is to be transplanted. These roots occur at the end of the root and can easily be cut off or damaged when transplanting, increasing replant shock for the plant.
A trench, one spade width wide and 45-60cm deep, or more depending on the size of the tree or shrub, is dug around the plant at the drip-line. The trench is back-filled with a firable mixture of soil, compost and sand.
In winter when the plant is dormant, it can be transplanted, taking with it a new set of feeder roots and minimizing replant shock. |
