What happens here

With the site clear of old stumps, the next step involves acquiring the new trees and transporting them to the planting location. The video shows large balled and burlapped White Pine and Emerald Green Arborvitae trees being loaded onto a Horizon dump trailer at a tree nursery. A skid steer with a tree spade is used to carefully lift and place these substantial trees onto the trailer bed. The narrator discusses the importance of securing the trees for transport and preparing the receiving area.

Goal: Obtain and move new evergreen trees to the planting site.
