I haven't. But I think that is a good idea to dig the hole(for trees) using a backhoe. Time-saving:)

It sure beats a shovel! That's for sure! (0:

I just recently relocated a pretty big blueberry bush that I'd excavated many months ago to make way for my new garage. I'd just tossed the thing out back and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it- it didn't serve up very tasty berries. But, this plant was somewhat of an historical artifact and I felt bad about just letting it die. So... I retrieved it in my B7800's bucket and wandered out looking for a place to replant it: I just let the "force" be with me in selecting the site- bush in front leading my way:D With the tooth bar on the bucket I just dug a "hole" - can't say that such holes are pretty, but way out where pretty much nobody will ever go (except me, my wife and my dog) tidiness isn't a concern. It wasn't but a day or two later that a visit showed this thing to have gone nuts- it was flowering like crazy as though it couldn't be any happier.

Great story! That must be a very healthy plant! Probably a "heirloom" plant... i.e. Not been monkeyed with by scientists.

You will have berries soon. Maybe it will produce tasty berries now that it's happy again. Haha!
