We moved 3 four year old Choisya last winter to 2 different beds. They

look
that they could go anytime soon.

I am thinking of ditching all 3, but has anyone successfully

transplanted
Choisya or had similar expereience to mine?


Did you cut them back when you moved them?

Not at the time. Once they started to look bad (late winter) they were given
a small trim but it made no difference.
