A uniquely robust, V-shaped tool designed specifically for transplanting trees and shrubs while protecting surrounding plants. With near-surgical precision, it allows you to move established plants without disturbing nearby root systems or compact plantings.

Unlike traditional spades with a rounded blade, this transplanting spade features a distinctive V-shaped head that slips cleanly into the soil and around root structures. This design minimizes damage by guiding the blade away from the plant’s core roots, making it ideal for careful lifting and replanting.

Integrated steps provide added leverage and control when driving the blade into the ground, improving efficiency in tougher soils. Weighing just over 3 lbs, it is noticeably lighter than many standard spades, reducing fatigue without sacrificing strength or durability.

Type of tool: Spade
Function: Digging, planting, root cutting, splitting
