As is the case with most things in life, there are pros and cons associated with the landscaping options of spaded trees and nursery trees. Generally speaking, trees grown in nurseries are easier to move because they have been subject to maintenance practices such as root pruning. On the other hand, transplanting a tree with a tree spade may be more costly but ultimately more successful if a tree would otherwise be lost or if the value of the tree outweighs the moving costs.
The advantage with nursery trees that have experienced root pruning is that the procedure promotes the growth and development of the most viable roots, resulting in maximum health, denser root systems and minimal stress for the tree. On the other hand, tree spading, which is a popular method for moving and transplanting large trees from one site to another, saves labor, planting time and years of maintenance on a young tree. Spading also eliminates the possible risk of mower damage, which often happens to younger and smaller trees.
Field grown trees are known for their extensive root systems, which are even denser than those found on nursery-grown trees. Nursery-grown trees are defined as those trees, which have been nurtured for at least two years under "nursery conditions." The ball-and-burlap method of transplanting nursery-grown trees works best and aids in reducing the danger of injury. Small trees with well-developed root systems respond well to this technique. Roots need space to develop and it is for this reason that pruning should never be done in order for the tree to fit into a specific pre-designated hole.

When using a tree spade, many trees can be moved any time of the year as long as the ground is not frozen. Firs, maples, and spruce trees are best transplanted during the cooler months of spring and early fall. Commercial nurseries use tree spades to lift large trees out of the soil for retail sale or compact storage.
Landscape companies and arborists utilize spades to plant large trees that have either been grown in nurseries or have been moved from elsewhere into the scenery. By digging and transplanting large trees from one location to another professionals can create an "instant landscape". Tree spades are available in a variety of types and sizes and anyone involved in the process should have a general understanding of how spades work, and be familiar with the sites where the tree spade will be operated.
