From Ground: First, water the korean fir 'Blue Emperor' plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location.
From Pot: Water the korean fir 'Blue Emperor' plant thoroughly before removal. Gently grasp the base of the plant and carefully tip the pot on its side. Tap the sides of the pot to loosen the soil and gently slide the plant out while supporting the root ball with your other hand.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings to make the soil moist and easier to work with. Use a trowel or your fingers to gently lift each seedling, making sure to keep as much of the root system intact as possible.
