Thanks for the info Tricia,
Yes, I don't think digging it out would be very easy, its about 4 ft from
the side of the house for starters. I don't think my back would thank me
either

I might do it 'radually... use a sharp spade and saw, dig/cut the roots one
side at a time over say, 4 months and then attempt moving it.

Will try taking some cuttings shortly as well.


Someone on this group gave me an 8 ft camellia that builders had ripped
out of her neighbour's yard and she had kept in a garbage bin for a
week. I planted it in my mother's garden. The first year I thought it
would die but then it picked up. It flowered beautifully this year,
(many thanks to that poster, too).
