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.
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 |
 |
