This is nitpicking his point.
But anyhow, you can buy large-ish burlapped trees but they aren’t as healthy, often die, and nothing close to a 100+ yr old estate oak tree or a decades old rose garden. You just can’t make it faster, transplanting plants that old will kill them.
- dminor 7mo agoYou're moving the goalposts on his poor analogy :) Most of the trees do just fine, and these nurseries will typically provide a warranty.
- johnthedebs 7mo agoBesides nitpicking, even your original point isn't even true. You cannot transplant a 100 year old tree (which has not been constrained in size dramatically) and expect it to survive for any reasonable length of time.
