does anyone know how to transplant a tree ****** when it doesn't have it's own roots?

Question

i have red maples and oaks that have suckers attached and i would like to remove them and plant them also, however, they do not have roots.  do you just stick them in the ground?

Answer 1

You will have to cut the trunk at a 54 degree angle then plant the trunk of whats left of the tree at least 24" down in lightly compacted soil, then water the stump four to five times daily for at leats 15 minutes at a time, you should see new life on the stump within 14 to 20 days
