What is the best method for killing grass around trees?
Hi, I would like to know how to kill the grass around the base of a tree without harming the tree itself. Any information is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Hi Linda, if the tree is in good shape it can be moved. Key here is to do it in really late fall and take AS MUCH dirt around the tree as possible, the more dirt you take with you when you move it the more protected the roots are.
Hi! It does depend on the type of tree as to how much recovery time, but generally yes. It will definitely show some drooping and leaf damage initially, but most trees will survive just fine if re-planted correctly.
Depends on what kind of tree and where you live.
Providing it is still dormant you can transplant it .
For your area and tree type you might want to check with your local garden nursery. They are full of knowledge.
