All I can tell you is a local plant expert and radio show host, Bob Webster,
here in San Antonio has always recommended transplanting only in the warm
weather. You can talk to him at 210-824-3772, his nursery here in town.


You may want to get a second opinion. Most experts recommend
transplanting in the winter or very early spring. Transplanting in the
summer just seems like a really bad idea, too much stress for the plants
and the gardeners!


The idea when transplanting cycads is that the soil is warm enough.
However, I would not recommend transplanting anything in high summer
here in Texas. No part of Texas.
