With no car access, just hand tools and a later than desired start, I had both moved and inground (raied beds) by 9pm that night. I went out this morning to give them more water (seasol) more or a prune and bit more mulch. Then headed back to my mates place to clean up the mess I left. A big thanks to Fu to all the help and advice. I'll add some pics and more details later, only time will tell if the move was successful, it's been a very rushed week trying to be well prepared... right now... I'm spent. Re: Help saving mature fruit trees from the chipper (with pics) 13Feb 06, 2010 9:20 pm Well the info you had would have been better than anything found elsewhere in Australia. I am sure they will be fine. Re: Help saving fruit trees from the chipper (new pics 11/20 14Nov 02, 2010 8:06 pm Well... Nine months later and I would say both moves have been a success. During the warmer months, both trees were heavily mulched and watered and seasoled well. The winter here in Melb was pretty well wet enough to look after them for me. The lemon never really showed any stress. New growth started ealy as did fruit which I plucked off. Now there is plenty of new growth with buds everywhere which have just started to open Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The apple never really responded during the warmer months and by winter had lost the very few leaves left. Early spring came and not alot of action, I though bud were starting to bulge, but it was hard to tell. Then on the last saturday on sept, a couple of buds opened, and it's been a constant show since then.

Re: Help saving fruit trees from the chipper (new pics 11/20 17Nov 03, 2010 7:21 pm Do you want another apple tree zaff? We're just about to chainsaw the one in our backyard. We're also in the SE suburbs of Melbourne. We didn't even want to dig up the stump, just cut it off just below ground level, poison it and let the grass grow over it as it is in one of the only spots in our backyard where decent grass grows. But if you really wanted it we can try to save/replant the grass. Re: Help saving fruit trees from the chipper (new pics 11/20 19Nov 03, 2010 10:23 pm I can't help saying but why would you rather see grass grow than Apples? Re: Help saving fruit trees from the chipper (new pics 11/20 20Nov 04, 2010 6:11 pm Fu Manchu I can't help saying but why would you rather see grass grow than Apples? It's not really a matter of the grass, I only mentioned it because I'd rather not dig up all the decent grass in the yard just to remove the stump. We have a number of large trees in our smallish backyard, the result of which is there is very little sun. The apple tree is the most logical to remove because of it's location, it will allow more sun into the corner where I want to plant a vege garden. Don't worry, the mature white nectarine and the big grapefruit tree are staying, and I have planted a lemon tree and a lime tree. And then there's the liquid amber and the absolutely enormous tree which I think is some sort of birch. brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7575 A survey must’ve completed by a certified surveyor.
