Transplanting a tree

To transplant a well grown tree we should cut around half the roots one year, between December and January in the dormant months, and the next year, the other half so the tree does not get under shock cutting all the roots at the same time.

From September to November the sap will go down from the leaves to the roots, so the roots will keep growing even if the leaves are falling. From November to January the roots will not grow. In February the sap will start going up and will make the tree grow again.
