The folks we bought our place from had a small bed on the side of the sunroom where they would grow trees. When they were big enough, they would move them out to the yard or somewhere on the property.

Well, there's about 8 little oak trees there now, and I need to get them out because they are starting to get big. I feel that we have enough trees, so I have no use for them. An old neighbor said he would take a couple if I was just getting rid of them.

Question: what's the best way to transplant these trees? My first though was just uproot them as much and as carefully as possible and place them in a 5 gallon bucket. Then , he can do whatever he wants on his end.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated.
