In case you missed it, the Old Stagecoach Tree has a new home! Earlier this month, the tree was successfully relocated after a carefully planned, multi-day effort.
The process kicked off on Wednesday, December 3, when crews gently transported the tree from its original spot and rolled it onto airbags, moving it to a temporary staging area just steps away from where it will live permanently. The following day, Thursday, December 4, teams focused on prepping the new planting site—excavating the area and making sure the soil and conditions were just right to support the tree’s long-term health.
The move wrapped up on Friday, December 5, when the Old Stagecoach Tree was carefully transported from the staging area to its new permanent home: a Pocket Park located about a quarter mile northwest of its original location.
Now, road reconstruction is underway and Old Stagecoach Road reopened on Tuesday, December 23 at 5 p.m.
The Old Stagecoach Tree is now in recovery mode. Once the road reopens, we ask that everyone in our Kyle community respect the boundaries around the live oak.
