A planting apparatus of nursery tree includes an auger, a guide member having a hollow tube shape, a blade member, sliders, and motors The auger, the guide member and the blade member form the nested structure of the three-layer which are centered upon the auger, and the auger and the blade member are rotation members rotating on the same vertical axis line. By such a constitution, desired planting hole can easily be excavated, and the ground around the excavated hole and a root clump of the nursery tree can be leveled, covered and pressed by the blade member without forming a gap while holding the nursery tree by the guide member not to be inclined.

Embodiments relate to a tool for digging root balls of trees. The digging tool uses at least two cutting members that move in different paths for digging through the soil and cutting through a portion of the tree's roots. One cutting member moves along a substantially linear-path thereby forming a portion of a side wall of the root ball. The other cutting member moves along an arcuate path for forming a lower wall of the root ball. When the root ball is formed, the tool can be used to remove the root ball and the tree from a first location and move the tree to a second location. The size of the cutting members can be selected to form a root ball of a desired shape and size to allow the tree to continue growing at the second location.

A standing tree branch compression ring is adapted to be vertically raised about the trunk of the tree by lifting means. As the ring is lifted, the ring forcibly moves the tree branches inward. A plastic ring liner is affixed to the outer surface of the ring to reduce the coefficient of friction of the ring to mitigate tree branch damage. The ring includes a plurality of segments that form a generally toroidal shape and includes a releasable segment to accept the tree trunk from the side. The segment is then connected to the remainder of the ring, around the tree trunk, before the ring is raised.

The present invention relates to an intelligent tree transplanter that comprises a rotary support, a structure comprising at least one horizontal hydraulic closed telescopic boom that is driven by and connected to a driving device, wherein there is a multi-way valve assembly, tree-oriented anchor point and infrared horizontal automatic calibration point, wherein there is a ball pool data detector including infrared central contact in the center of the present device; and, a lateral hydraulic telescopic boom that drives the rotary support comprising a number of regolith scrapers, and at least one vertical hydraulic angle rotating shaft connected to a vertical hydraulic telescopic joints are located at the bottom of the device. Vertical hydraulic telescopic joints that are connected to the ball-end horizontal rotating shaft are also located at the bottom of the device.

A tree removal device configured for coupling on a working vehicle is usable for slicing tree roots. The working vehicle has a front element which is pivotal relative to a frame of the vehicle about a lateral axis in front of a forward end of the frame, thereby allowing a knife element of the tree removal device to be pivoted into the ground for performing a cutting action with a sharpened cutting edge so as to slice the tree roots.

A sapling planting unit for a transplanter, the sapling planting unit comprising a power transmitting assembly and a planting tube assembly. The power transmitting assembly provides a movement in a longitudinal direction. The power transmitting assembly comprises a driving element, functionally connected to a power source and a power transmitting mechanism, configured to move along the direction of rotation of the driving element. The planting tube assembly is coupled to the power transmitting mechanism and is configured to be driven in a longitudinal direction. The planting tube assembly comprises a plurality of spades operatively coupled to a planting tube, wherein the planting tube is configured to move in a transverse direction with the help of a first actuating mechanism.
