I have 2 pear espaliers, 1 sweet cherry, 1 plum and one peach all fan
trees. All planted bare rooted 3 years ago when they were about 2 years
old,they are in deep beds beneath south facing walls.

The walls have to be replaced, this will be done over the Winter and
will take several weeks. Is there any chance saving these trees to
replant under the new walls? If so any advice on how I should approach
it?

If there is little chance of their survival I would rather cut my losses
and plant new this winter. I would love to hear from someone who has
tried this successfully or otherwise.
TIA
John

Theres no reason why you cant move these trees in the autumn
The Victorians moved fruit trees all the time to get best fruiting

We have moved fruit trees without loss too

Dig out a largish area around the tree and severe roots as you go

When the root ball is free wrap in a dustbin liner and sacking and keep just
moist in frost free area

Replant in large holes with lots of compost ASAP
