Question:
Hello, I have been given 12 Italian cyperess trees but they need to be taken out of where they have been growing and transplanted into my back yard. What is the best way to do this to minimize the shock and potential loss off trees? They are about 10-12 tall.

Replies:
A related question but perhaps further correspondence to the following can help you for the specific tree:
