Transplanting (or undercutting) encourages a compact and fibrous root system and enables the easier and more successful supply and establishment of plants. Conifers should be transplanted or undercut every two years.
Specimen conifers must be transplanted at least every four years. In exceptional circumstances a specimen can be sold five years after transplanting, but, if this is the case, it must be stated.
