Mac-Bert's experience at the service of nursery gardeners and public administrations to preserve existing trees
Mac-Bert has been working on advanced tree spading techniques for large trees for over thirty years, producing innovative machinery designed to ensure maximum integrity of the root ball and therefore the survival of the tree after transplanting. The company uses robust hydraulic tree spades that create a stable structure for the roots, thus preventing the transplanted tree from suffering damage caused by wind and atmospheric agents over time.
Mac-Bert's approach, which favors truncated cone-shaped root balls, allows for a cohesive and stable root system even in difficult or rocky terrain conditions.
The company's machinery - adaptable to various types of vehicles, such as tracked excavators - reduces soil compaction and promotes more sustainable transplantation. This innovative approach has allowed Mac-Bert to perform thousands of successful transplants in different climate and soil conditions, from the Siberian steppe to arid lands.
For those who want to learn more, here is the report on "Transplanting Large Trees" by Mac-Bert SAS, written by Dr. Antonio Calzavara, which highlights the critical issues of transplantation activities and Mac-Bert's approach.
