Default Tree Ferns & Daphne

Steve Wallis wrote:
Thanks Jonno,

What would be the best month for me to try moving the daphne?

Also I found this a little confusing:


Tree ferns are best moved in winter and spring Autumns planting are
probably the best.



Do you mean anytime is Ok except Summer?

Regards

Steve


Any time, especially now but not mid summer. When it looks coolish is
better for any plant to establish it self. A sudden burstsof heat will
kill things.
Everything is growing rather slowly at present.
I would prefer to transplant dapne in Autumn, but I "suppose" it would
be OK now. I succeeded OK in transplanting. That Dapne virusis dangerous
though...
It starts to get an extra spurt of growth in spring, so I'd be sure to
give it plent of liquid aquasol or similar before the move...
and after.
