Sep 21, A pine tree trunk that is 2 inches in diameter should be transplanted into a hole that is 24 inches wide by 12 inches deep. Mix a ratio of 50 percent peat moss, leaf debris or bark chips with 50 percent garden soil.

The only perennials not recommended for a fall move are autumn bloomers.

Pine trees appreciate an abundant amount of organic material in the garden soil when being transplanted. Transplant them in late spring, summer or fall. Roots must be established in the container and hold the media together before transplanting. Do not completely break up the root ball at planting time, but do cut any circling roots prior to planting.
