This is how you stack $5,000 worth of trees on a pick-up truck.

$5,000 worth of trees stack in a pick up truck.
This Crimson Queen weeping Japanese maple was far too precious to put in the back of the truck, it got to ride with me.
Trees stacked on a truck.

In this case we were able to lean the trees against the tailgate, but often times it helps to put a bale of straw or two across the back of the truck or trailer to lean the trees against.

Then additional trees are actually stacked onto top of the first row of trees. The pots rest on pots so the trees themselves are not damaged.

I know this makes you uncomfortable, but trust me, this is how trees are loaded on a daily basis across the country.

As you can see, there are pots stack two and three high in this truckload.

It’s important for People Who are Just Now Entering this industry how things are done so you can be efficient at what you do.

    Good Afternoon,

    I’m in Toledo, Ohio and it’s definitely winter outside. I have a half-dozen small oaks, 3′ to 5′ tall in my front yard. I’d like to dig them now and transplant them where I want them in the back yard. Can I get away with doing this right now, during winter?

      Thomas, As long as the ground is not frozen you can. Just don’t leave them out of the ground for long. Dig them and plant them right away, the roots cannot be exposed to freezing air.
