• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

this is impressive,moving an oak tree

Thank you for posting this, Daveroo, first class. Just shows you what a local council can do when they have their priorities set correctly.

Wow. That's amazing. I would (wood?) have thought the root system was bigger than what was in that box, but I guess they had to cut someplace... I hope the old tree survives the big move. Never saw "CATS" used in that way, with the bucket diggers used as "hands" to crawl forward. That was cool.
 
Thanx Much....Planting A tree.!!....We use the term RIGHT STUFF..but it applies here as well...Those Operators,Those big CATS..All in tune,and all in harmony.....Great Stuff!!!
 
Human sentimentality aside, take 100 grafts of the tree, then cut down the parent tree and plant a grove of oaks from the grafts. Technically, the grafts are all the same tree, so it still lives on X 100. Simpler, smarter, cheaper, and you get a nice grove of oaks.

I used to have oak and poplar trees in my yard. After a hurricane, the poplars and some of the oaks were horizontal and the amazingly shallow root balls were soaking up the sunshine. I've since had mine cut down, I didn't want to see another storm put them through my house.
