Transplant a tree is not only move the place... remember it is a living being

To begin, you need to know that trees and shrubs are living being too, thus we should take some care. First, we need to know what kind of tree or shrub we have, because some trees and shrubs need specific location, more sun or more shade, Do you which kind do you have?.
When you dig out your plants you need to dig before your new hole, because the longer it's the roots go out the home, there is more possibility to have a successful transplanting. But, do you know the depth of the hole?, is a twice of the rootball.
When you reach the bottom of the new hole, what do we do? break up the soil beneath? If your answer is this, you are wrong, Don't do that because you increase the possibility to rot the root because the tree or shrub can down more than adequate.
Dig out the tree or shrub, you can't start in the center, you should start around because it's important to take care with the rootball since it is the hearth of your tree or shrub, when you'll finished the hole, put the shovel under the rootball and make pressure and be careful, then move to the new hole.
In the new hole, tamp this soil down firmly and water it as you go, and when it's is completed, add water, water, water.
