How to transplant treelings?
Ok my mom has a beautiful magnolia tree in front yard and I found some small treelings growing and wondering are they coming from the original tree & or if able how could I safely uproot these treelings so I can plant them in her back yard? Hope I explained this well what I'm asking!? There looks like 3 diffrent treelings!

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.
Gently loosen and remove soil around them using a hand rake or even you fingers. Try to get as much of the root loosened as you can and gently lift the new plant, you can pull gently on the roots too so that you recover as much as possible. I don't know much about Magnolia trees but this is how I would do it for my trees that send up shoots. You can buy a product called rooting hormone at hardware store or garden center, dip the stem in it and plant in soft, loose soil at the same height in was in the soil where you removed it from. Water in well and see if it will take root in the new home you chose. Good luck.
These look more like suckers (there are many names for these). They are sprouting from buds on the trunk. More than likely they have no roots. On the off chance they aren't suckers use a shovel and carefully move soil away from the sprouts. If they have roots you need to preserve as many as you can especially the tap root (main root)

Like Rose says. You need to poke around in there. If it's connected to the tree but has it's own roots it can be cut out and planted. Won't hurt the tree.
