I am rather a gardening know-nothing. I have a 6' holly bush in my garden
which I would like to move to another location. Will it survive? Any tips
gratefully accepted.

I successfully transplanted a 3-4ft holly which suffered no ill effects at
all. Unfortunately I cant recall which time of year I did it in case that
makes any difference.
At a guess I'd say late winter, ie feb or so might be good because it will
be relatively dormant but start putting out new growth soonish.

I potted one of about 3' 6" into an 18" planter during September 2002
and it is still doing well. It lost no leaves and showed no sign of
stress, but I did keep it well watered.

It had been planted (probably) by birds in an awkward position, so it
had a choice....
