NUT TREES 
TRANSPLANTING. Nut Trees are not as difficult to transplant as many 
believe but do require much more careful handling than fruit trees. The roots 
will not endure as much exposure and the tops should be cut back heavily. 
Usually the more the top is reduced the better the growth the first year. Cut 
ends should be waxed and the stem given a loose wrapping to prevent dessica- 
tion. Nut trees are hand dug, usually have long, deep roots, and are too 
heavy and too long to be sent by parcel post. Holes should be dug deep enough 
to avoid crowding the roots and pulverized moist peat mixed with top soil 
filled around them. A basin may be left around the tree and filled with peat 
to facilitate watering and hold the moisture. If peat is not available fill in with 
mellow top soil and put a mulch of strawy manure about the tree.
