Kellie:

The largest we've done is a 110' tall tulip tree, while the heaviest may
have been a 550 ton oak we figured was about 300 years old. We did a couple
of huge Ficus that would have been heavier...but we washed off the soil and
did them bare root.

It's not only possible, but we do it every day! It can get a little spendy.
The aftercare is critical as is water management.

Call us with questions if you'd like!

Cheers!
