Moving an established tree on your own can pose significant risks—from root damage to transplant shock—especially under Star’s hot, dry summer conditions and alkaline soils. Melad Tree Farm provides professional tree transplant services that give your trees the best chance to thrive in their new location. We serve clients living in and around Star, Idaho, by guiding you through a careful process that evaluates the tree’s health, optimizes site conditions, and provides aftercare recommendations to support lasting success.
Relocating a tree in Star presents several challenges. Many homeowners worry about how to preserve a tree’s root structure when hot, arid weather can dry out exposed roots within minutes. Without proper equipment, digging around an established tree can sever critical roots or create air pockets that hinder water uptake. Even if a homeowner succeeds in digging out a root ball, transporting it to the new location can be stressful for the tree if it sits uncovered in the sun or if the soil around its roots dries prematurely.
Melad Tree Farm offers a solution tailored to Star’s conditions. First, we conduct a thorough site evaluation—either virtually or in person—to assess soil composition, available space, and sunlight patterns at both the tree’s current location and its intended new home. Based on our findings, we recommend any necessary soil amendments (such as organic matter for better moisture retention) or adjust the planting site to enhance drainage.
Reach out by phone or visit our farm during business hours. Let us know your goals, such as adding shade near a patio or creating a focal point in your front yard.
We’ll talk through your soil conditions, how much sunlight the area receives, and how much space you have. Using that information, we’ll recommend a few species that align with your preferences.
Once you’ve made a selection, we’ll help you arrange transportation and share pointers on proper planting. If you need extra guidance, our team is available to provide more support for a successful transition from farm to your property.

Trees are serious, and so are your questions. Here are just a few:
We routinely serve up to 30 miles from our primary farm. Star, ID, falls well within our service radius, so we can accommodate on-site work and deliveries efficiently.
Late spring or early fall generally offers moderate temperatures and helps reduce stress on the tree. We’ll advise based on your tree species and current weather forecasts.
You should water immediately after planting and follow a schedule tailored to Star’s climate. Typically, that means light daily watering for the first week, then gradually scaling back as the roots establish. We’ll provide exact guidelines.
Melad Tree Farm is centrally located in Nampa, which allows us to serve homeowners and developers across the Treasure Valley. Plan a visit, and you’ll have a chance to see how the trees are grown, ask questions, and select the perfect match for your property.
