Specimen Olive Tree Moving & Shipping
We can bring or send you a
large olive tree anywhere in the USA & Canada.
This customer had a very
special project and need trees to make an immediate impact. Three large olives
and 3 large Italian Cypress. The olive trees were crated and shipped from
Visalia, Ca to Le Grange, Georgia in between winter storms. We have large
specimen Arbequina, Kalamata, Mission, Manzanillo Sevilliano and other assorted specimen
olive trees to choose from. Call Chris at 559 802 8066 or the office at
805 525 0200
We grow or have available two
groups of olive trees, there can be some cross over from the fruiting group to
the landscape group;
 |
 |
| These olive trees were going to travel all the way to La
Grange, Georgia, for a new construction project there. |
These heavy duty wood crates were needed to protect the root ball
and root crown from damage in transit. |
 |
 |
| Lexy and I scouted and
photographed a number of trees for the customer and sent
the pictures. Of those 4 tree were picked out. Lexy stands in front one
of them. |
3 trees were set into the wood crates, using a medium crane. The
fourth tree was held in reserve (a good thing as it would turn out,
since the truck driver broke one and had to drive 6 hours back to get it
replaced) |
 |
 |
| Trees are placed into the crates and the real heavy work
gets underway. |
After the trees were set into the crates a little more finish
carpentry work was needed. |
 |
 |
| Then we needed to go about re-enforcing the crates to
hold the root balls of these 2 ton trees. |
Look at Lexy and the Bronco to the left of the photo, the tree is
just HUGE! It was crated and driven to Georgia next day. |
 |
 |
| Carpet, a lot of it, was used to wrap the trunks of the
trees, then more 2 x 8 and 2 x 10 planks were nailed onto the crate. |
After the top was nailed together we used heavy metal strapping to
cross strap the root ball and crate together. |
 |
 |
| 3 Large specimen olive trees are loaded onto the flatbed cargo
truck of the drive out East. |
3 More very large Italian cypress went on the truck as were the were about
20 feet tall |
