Moving a big tree in Malmö, Sweden

[Xerxses]

A collegue of mine did move a big Crataegus lavallei ‘Carrierei’ which is rated 1 of 10 most interesting trees in Sweden. A very rare tree indeed and was planted around 1938.

A project that has been prepared and started 5 years ago.

Cool, thanks for posting. What was the reason for the move? Do you know how the tree is doing now?

How far was the tree being moved? (as I don't really understand swedish:blushing:)?

They were moving the tree to a group of trees as the shoppingcentre is beeing rebuilt and the tree was moved to an area where there will be a park. The tree is fine, was moved february this year so future will tell. At least three years of watering and maintenence will follow...

Not sure, but I think it was some 30 meters.

Lol I never saw that snowball:lol:

I will have a look at the tree next time I go to Malmö. I met Örjan, the guy on TV day before yesterday I wanted to chat to him about moving some trees... IKEA is building a new store in my town and its affecting a lot of trees and I´m looking into the possibility to relocating some of them.

 

He pointed out that this snippet was online.
