It is recommended that you basket the tree in the
hole it was removed from. The tree will be more
stable in a hole in a basket than sitting on top of
the ground.
Most baskets are flat on the bottom. To get a flat
cone, you can slightly retract each spade. You
must remove the dirt tip. This will make the root
ball fit the basket.
