CHAPTER XIII
TRANSPLANTING LARGE TREES
Where immediate effect is required, the transplanting of large trees
and shrubs will be an operation of considerable importance, and though
it is fraught with both trouble and expense, the results obtained have
led to an increased adoption of the system during recent years.
There is hardly a limit to the size or weight of the tree to be removed
when the operator is provided with suitable appliances, and success has
crowned the effort of several recent operations of this nature in our
Royal and other parks. Of late years several appliances for removing
large and weighty trees and shrubs have been placed on the market;
amongst these one of the best is certainly that made and patented by
Messrs. Faulkners Ltd. Its principal recommendations are simplicity
of structure, the ease with which it may be worked, and lightness,
combined with such strength that even the weightiest tree can be
removed. But not only is this tree-lifter valuable where transplanting
is being engaged in, for in removing large tree roots, logs of timber,
blocks of stone, and heavy materials generally, it has been found most
useful.
