This machine allows a simple, quick and effective tree relocation [source, full video:

A fair bit of research suggests most trees' root systems are not shaped like the root system that this device preserves. As the remnants of this tree show, most root systems are like upturned saucers, with the tree a wine glass stood on top of them.

And the trees die (most of the time) within some years: because most of tree root is destroyed in this way. Roots are at least as large as the visible tree.

What’s the percentage of survival for the trees?

works only for small trees. Larger ones cannot grow back the roots fast enough and die after some time.

The problem is that it cuts a big portion of the well developed roots the tree needs to survive. It might significantly slow the tree’s growth depending on how developed it already was

I wonder what the death rate is.

How to destroy a tree.

Amazing Picture 😍 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 #ganeshji

As someone who has planted a lot of trees this is a silly waste of time and effort. At best the tree will be set back for years. If a tree really needs to 'go', chop it down and plant a new, young tree in a better place. The young tree will soon overtake a damaged older tree.

Tell that to the roots! 😆
