This is my only context in the text I am translating:
Gepflanzt werden mehrfach verschulte Bäume, die den Qualitätsstandards des Bunds deutscher Baumschulen (BdB) entsprechen
I found this on the Internet:
Beim Verschulen beschneidet der Baumschuler das Wurzelwerk, um dadurch den Ballen kompakt zu halten: Baum und Strauch wurzeln dadurch stärker in den oberen Bodenschichten und deshalb kann das Gehölz, ohne eine starke Beeinflussung des Wachstums, immer wieder umgepflanzt oder verschult werden

transplant
Your reference is slightly confusing because it implies that verschulen means trimming the roots. It doesn't - trimming them is what you do when you transplant the tree.
Während der mehrjährigen Entwicklung werden die Pflanzen mehrfach umgepflanzt (Fachausdruck: verschulen), um den Pflanzen einen ihrem Alter und Wuchstyp entsprechenden Standraum zu bieten.

And there's this, which I answered ten years ago and have no recollection of:

In fact your reference says 'immer wieder umgepflanzt oder verschult'.

: Der Fachbegriff „verschulen“ in der Baumschule bedeutet nichts anderes als „umpflanzen“ oder „verpflanzen“. https://www.baumschule-pflanzen.de/faq-page/

Thanks - and yes, isn't it convenient that AMM always has personal experience of everything? If there was a question about brain surgery, he'll tell us he used to be a brain surgeon.

: No, root balling is not something you do to a plant. It's the opposite of bare rooted, ie it's grown in a container and the roots are enclosed in earth so it can be transplanted easily.

Adrian MM.
: '... Root-balled trees have usually been ‘undercut’ (root pruned) or transplanted several times to encourage development of a fibrous root system. ...' not grown in a container, as your weblink shows. I took exams at the RHS/Royal Horticultural Soc.

: Agree with PG; Dubious claim yet again from AMM//Oh yes it would have gleaned a comment, because basically your answer is wrong and your suggestion unproven, probably like A's claim.

You seem to be engaged in an ongoing feud with Adrian MM. I doubt whether my answer would otherwise have attracted a comment from you. Please leave me out of it.
