PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transplanting trees that can surely transplant even a big tree without damaging its root.SOLUTION: Openable/closable buckets 4 are inserted in soil on both sides of a tree 2 to be transplanted, and a root ball 3 of the tree 2 is lifted while being held between the buckets 4. The root ball 3 is placed on a moving sled 5 together with the buckets 4 and moved to the transplantation ground while maintaining the attitude of the tree 2 on the moving sled 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】大きな樹木であっても根を傷めることなく確実に移植できる樹木の移植方法を提供する。【解決手段】移植すべき樹木2の両側の土壌に開閉自在なバケット4を差し込むと共に、そのバケット4間に樹木2の根鉢3を挟みながら持ち上げ、その根鉢3をバケット4ごと移動ソリ5に載せ、その移動ソリ5で樹木2の姿勢を保持しながら移植地まで移動させるものである。【選択図】図1
