EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of horticultural innovation, featuring McNab's tree transplanter, as used in the Royal Scottish Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, Scotland, around 1850. The image showcases the gardener, McNab, skillfully operating the wooden tree transplanter, a testament to the meticulous cultivation practices of the Victorian era. The tree transplanter, a marvel of wood and wheels, was a crucial tool in the landscaping and gardening process during the 1850s. Its intricate design allowed for the uprooting and moving of mature trees with minimal damage, ensuring their survival and enabling the expansion of the garden's collection. The tree transplanter's wheels, each with a large wooden cog, are connected by a central axle. The gardener, McNab, stands behind the machine, using a long handle to control the uprooting process. The tree, with its extensive root system, is secured in place with ropes and straps, ready to be carefully lifted and moved to its new location. This photograph captures the essence of the meticulous and labor-intensive process of tree transplanting during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and passion of gardeners like McNab, who played a significant role in the cultivation and preservation of Scotland's botanic gardens. The tree transplanter, with its wooden wheels and simple yet effective design, remains an enduring symbol of the rich horticultural history of Edinburgh and the Royal Scottish Botanic Garden.
