Is it okay to move a newly planted tree?

We planted a couple of small trees (fringe tree, about 3 feet tall) and a serviceberry (about 6 feet tall, in a burlap bag) over a month ago. Now we realize we need to move them a little and plant them higher. Is it safe to do this? How do we do this without hurting the trees?
Thanks!

Sure, it's easier to do now since the roots won't be huge. Make sure you dig a large enough circle around them so your not disturbing the new root system too much.

Go for it Ginger, just keep the water going untill established

We moved the serviceberry tree last weekend. It was easy - some of the original burlap was still in place. Now it's in a better spot in the yard and it looks just fine. We're keeping it watered. Thanks for the help!

Good job. There is a product called quick start that helps trees, shrubs and plants in general combat transplant shock. you can find it most anyplace that sells garden stuff. It has phosphorus to help stimulate root growth and is easy to use. just mix and pour into the root zone.

This article is very helpful to insure that what trees should we use in our garden. It helps to make a garden beautiful. It helps to choose trees and shrubs so that some flower in early grew up. I like very much The Sargent Cherry which really grew up early. Thank you very much for such a beautiful post.

I wish I had a penny for every plant I have had to move because it is either in the wrong place, looks awful beside it's new neighbour or just lost where it is, so your doing the right thing as you would never be happy with the layout once you realise it could be better.

I never add anything to newly planted trees (other than Prep the soil and planting hole) before I set the tree's / shrubs into position, I don't want the tree's / shrub's to put on too much growth at this time of year as the colder nights can cause die back of new tender shoots, but underground where I added compost etc, I want the plants to put out a good root system before they go into the winter rest period, come spring when you see buds growing you can add feeds etc to give a boost.
If you notice the tree's / shrubs etc having some form of stress (wilting or leaf drop) you will find normally after several weeks some water is more than enough to help. I find the biggest problem for tree planting is lack of water and the best way to check your giving enough is stick your finger into the soil and you will be surprised at how little water has actually reached the roots way down where needs. I am so glad you had the courage to fix the position of the tree's and you will now know that most garden plants are a lot hardier than we all think.
Hope you have a beautiful area as thanks for all your hard work and it gives you enjoyment for many years to come. good luck. WeeNel.

So my mother helped me plant some very small spires and juniper today. I had a great pine soil conditioner- topsoil mix I was using as the ground - soil was quite gravel like-
She didn’t amend soil- I poked around tonight and am so sad.
Do you think tomorrow I can lift and am end soil? We are having our first frost tonight- zone 6….
Please advise…. Thank you! .
