From Ground: First, water the chinese privet 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 chinese privet plant thoroughly. Gently tap the sides of the pot to loosen the soil. Turn the pot sideways and carefully slide the plant out, holding the base of the stem. If the plant is stuck, use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the edges.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings in the tray. Use a small tool like a butter knife or a transplanting trowel to gently lift the chinese privet seedling from the tray, ensuring minimal disturbance to the roots.
