gday again all,
id also like some advice on moving plants. is it too early to start
moving tree ferns, azaleas, camellias and fruit trees? and anyone ever
dug up and moved rosemary? can i move mine or will it die?
tree ferns ive moved before, seemed easy enough, but what do the others
like you to do when you shift them? any suggestions greatfully accepted!

The whole trick with moving plants of any type is to get as much of the root
ball as possible. Some handle root loss better than others.
Plant growth slows down in winter, so it's the best time to move them. Say
about July/August/September. That way the move won't shock them much at all,
and as they go in their new spot they will be ready to start growing almost
straight away and get the roots out.
Give them a water a day before. Move them, then a water in. Just don't
overwater in the new spot.
