How fast do these trees grow?

I got some baby trees (between 12 and 18" tall) from a neighbor--White Flowering Dogwoods, Flowering Crabapples, Washington Hawthorns, Eastern Redbuds, Goldenraintrees, and a Lilac. I have a small yard now, these trees would DEFINITELY overpower it (the two ash trees already do!) but in the next 5-10 years would like to find a home with a large yard/acreage. My question is, how quickly do these grow, and is there a possibility of transplanting them in 5-10 years?

Hey K K,





You could easily keep them in LARGE pots for 5 years, then after that you need to be able to prune both the roots and the tops. A 5 year old tree in the pot can weigh as little as 20 pounds.





By using pots, that can be disgarded at your new home you avoid having to chop the roots and then transport to a new location. You will just have to transport - be careful in the transporting - don't let your precious trees flap in the wind.





Happy Gardening.

Reply:Four or FIve years would be about the max.
Reply:I wouldn't. You will have some substantial plants on your hands in 5 years nevermind 10! The larger the plant the more likely it is to go into shock if you try and move it. Depending on variety you might manage the lilac, the redbud and the dogwood.


If I were you I would give them to someone with the room now.
