Sepp Holzer said to do it. This is a pear tree that grew from a branch I used as a row marker two springs ago. I didn't get it transplanted over the winter (thanks appendix) and it was growing in the bed I'm going to have tomatoes in.

Anyhow. I dug it out, pruned about 1/2 off the top due to root damage digging it up, planted it at the edge of a woods area, and stripped every single leaf off - which Holzer says (and it makes sense) cuts down on transplant stress. We'll see how this works.
