ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for lifting a mature tree for transplanting at a new location comprises a base disposed within a trench dug about the tree. At least one hydraulic actuator is connected to the base and to a horizontal member that overlies the root ball. A root ball harness attaches the root ball to the horizontal member. Energization of the actuator effects elevation of the cross member and the tree in vertical translation.
