Hi Miyagi,

I am by no means an expert on lifting trees, but I will start the ball rolling...
From what little I do know, I think the most important thing is to get as much soil as possible with the rootball, and try to leave the rootmass as undisturbed as possible. Ideally, you would need to have your growing boxes already made and nearby, so the trees can go straight in them.

Perhaps some more experienced people will be able to expand on this?

regards,
