Question

If you wanted to transplant a tree, would you choose to move the tree in the winter, when it doesn't possess any leaves but it's cold outside, or during the summer, when the tree has leaves and it's warm and sunny? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - You should move it during the summer, because in the winter all of its nutrients are stored in the roots.

Explanation:

In winters all the nutrients are stored in the roots of the tree and disturbing it will lead to the loss of the nutrients and roots required for the growth of the plant or the tree. Therefore, transplanting the tree in winters might increase the chances of the death of the plants.

Transplanting the tree during summertime would be a better choice as all the nutrients are stored in leaves due to the transpiration process in the tree will sustain the growth of the plant,
