Hi everyone , my first post!
i am moving home mid sept hopefully and I have 4 fruit trees in 150L tubs.
one cherry , one plum , 2 pear
for ease of moving (disabled)
I wanted to potentially take the trees out the tubs , wrap in hessian , then bag the earth up and stack the tubs inside each other. .
Then the next day at new house replant trees in the tubs - with same compost mix bagged for that same tree .

I’ve bought a house with 1/2 acre so want to take the trees and have them as part of the orchard I want to plant within time once I’ve sorted the overgrown jungle of brambles.
That’s the idea I have …. Is there a correct way to do this? I just know the trees arrived bare root in hessian years ago & that’s why I thought could I basically do the same thing to transplant.
moving in their current tubs is not an option as they are very heavy.

Would save a lot of effort essentially upheaving them, replanting to be then replanted again in the orchard!
