I managed to move successfully a tripover apple the other week. It was
quite elderly, and the nicest flavoured apple in my allotment, but the
previous holder had put it in a silly place. It had barely any root, and I
thought it was not going to survive, especially as its buds were quite
large at that point.

I put loads of well-rotted manure in the hole, stomped it all down well,
watered it well and mulched it heavily with wood chippings. It has now
taken off like a rocket and has buds open all over, and looking like the
flowers are going to open any day now. I was amazed. I think your
youngsters will have a good chance.
