you should loosen soil at spade site,also make sure base it at correct height for root ball,tampen soil aty base,hard and not good to set it in and keep pulling out till you get it right!!also check for compaction of ball,if trees are done same time out and transplanted at same time you should be fine.remove any problem roots while out make sure you have nice clean sharp cuts,it doesnt hurt to spread your l;aterals so your tree will be able to secure it self as quickly as possible.wrap ypur root ball with a piece of loose canvas and keep moist while in the free air does not take as long as some think to start damage.,if you need to stake do so correctly and for the least amount of time as ness.a tree that size set right and lightly tamped into place really doead not need to be staked unless enviorment or foot traffic and hazards call 4 it.water,water,WATER!! AS needed.good luck drano:
