Nursery Equipment
Tree Spading. Tree spading is a common method for moving and
transplanting trees. Tree spades are used in various ways throughout
the green industry. Commercial nurseries use tree spades to lift, field-grown
trees out of the soil, and wrap the root ball in burlap and twine (termed
“ball and burlap” or B&B) for retail sale or compact storage.
Landscape companies and arborists use spades to plant trees that are
nursery-grown or have been moved from elsewhere in the landscape. Landscape
professionals use a tree spade to create an “instant landscape”
by digging and transplanting trees from one location to another. Here
