ABSTRACT:
A wheel-like device enables a looped-strand drum lacing to be made thereon from two lengths of rope for use when forming a tree root ball of soil during transplanting of the tree. The device has a central hub with a plurality of outwardly projecting posts mounted thereon in a circular arrangement. A plurality of equally circumferentially spaced legs extend radially outwardly in a spoke-like fashion from the hub. Each of the legs have a peg mounted on the leg at a predetermined distance from the hub. A first piece of rope is looped about the hub posts and leg pegs to form a plurality of outwardly extending closed end loops. A second piece of rope is wrapped in an overlapping manner with the individual strands of the previously formed loops into a circular configuration about the hub posts to form a circular drum lacing base. The two pieces of rope are stapled together at alternating overlapped locations. The preformed drum lacing is placed in the interior of a wire basket formed by two detachably connected half-sections. A sheet of burlap is placed over the open top of the basket and drum lacing and the tree roots and soil ball are placed in the basket which forms the burlap sheet about the soil. The burlap sheet then is tied about the ball of soil and to the tree trunk by the drum lacing. The basket halves then are disconnected and the balled tree then is transported to the new tree site for replanting.
