Landscaping (Transplanting Plants): Course Description
Professor Roger Kjelgren explores the transplanting process in this, the sixth edition of Utah State University's (USU) Landscape Management Series. To ensure your plants' survival, Professor Kjelgren will walk you through the step-by-step process of successful transplanting, from soil preparation to watering and maintaining. Transplanting involves moving a tree or plant, such as a flower or a shrub, from one place to another. Most small deciduous trees may be moved with no soil attached to their roots. Trees of more than 7.5 cm (3 inches) in trunk diameter, however, are best moved balled and burlapped, that is, with a ball of earth enclosing the roots held in place with burlap. Vegetables and flowers that have been started indoors may be transplanted when all danger of frost has passed. Plants must be handled carefully to avoid shock. Seedlings are hardened up for a day or two outside before transplanting. A day that is cloudy or rainy, windless, and cool is ideal for transplanting garden plants. The roots must be kept moist and intact. Newly transplanted small plants require a few days of protection from direct sunlight.
This course includes a video lecture and other resources, which are available for free online. To learn more, visit the plant translplanting course page.
