Hi group,
We have a well established ( 9yrs) Callistemon Hannah Ray, approx 4m
high in our backyard (Western Sydney). Its in great condition, but in the
wrong place, preventing us from moving a fence & putting in a driveway. I
would like to move the tree approx 1.5m from where it is currently located.
We would really like to try and save this tree if possible.
Has anyone had any experiences / luck / advice moving such a large tree
? is it possible, or would we just kill the tree in the process.
Native plants tend to not like being moved. It can be done with heavy
equipment, but that would cost a lot of money.
Better to chop it down and plant a new one.
