My other topic and the end of the World at War DVD got me thinking and posting.

Does anyone have pictures of a large tree which has had all the soil washed or blown off its roots?

You would think someplace in front of some subdivision the University of XXX would have paid a construction crew to remove the soil from around a soon to be felled white oak or something and taken some pics.

Oh, the link below is where that pic comes from. Guess these guys would know. Their quote
"1. Pagoda dogwood (2-2.5" trunk diameter) late May, in leaf and flowering-before transplant.
2. Same tree bare root, ready for transport. Conventional methods would require a 20-24" root ball, removing 75% of the root mass.
3. The root mass is 8ft across."

Wow, these root balled fellas folks transplant recover after losing 75% of their root mass. Amazing.

Here is a link that might be useful: Bare root transplanters
