From Ground: First, water the netleaf white oak plant to dampen the soil; this makes the extraction process easier. Dig a circle around the plant using a spade, at least 10 inches away to ensure you don't damage the root system. Try to dig deeply so that as many roots as possible are kept intact. Gently lift the plant from the ground and place it in a wheelbarrow or garden cart.
From Pot: For netleaf white oak plants in pots, water the plant generously to moisten the soil. Then tip the pot in a sideway position and gently tap the edges. The plant should slide out along with the soil. Handle with care to prevent breaking the root ball.
From Seedling Tray: Water the seedlings and then use a small tool, like a spatula, to lift the netleaf white oak plant from the tray. Make sure you dig the tool deep enough to avoid damage to the roots. The soil should come up with the plant in order to protect the roots.
