I wouldn’t hold my breath on the survival chances.
My tree guy tells me the rule of thumb is one foot of root ball for each inch of trunk diameter when transplanting trees.
Your results may vary.

Pretty big but also lot of roots. I've transplanted pretty big evergreens with roughly 50% survival rate. This is the largest one so far. It's a western hemlock. I'm in the Seattle area and it's the start of our wet season so what you guys think?

It has been said that the orientation of the tree should match where it was taken from - in other words it should be facing the same direction so that the sun comes up on the same side of the tree as it did where it began. No one has been able to get a tree to admit that this is important though.

You are not hooking high on the ROPs to pull, are you?

The tree? It might live but would have to be staked up for a few years.

It looks like he took the suggestion on another thread to hook to the ROPS seriously.
