Is it possible to move a mature Gardenia radicans? It's flowering at the
moment, but I'd like to move it to a different location. Any ideas/help
would be much appreciated.


It's not the time of year for that, wait until next winter.


'kay. But when it *is* next winter, what should I do? Prune? (Severely?)
Root prune? (Severely?) Feed? (Before? After?)


Hit it with Seasol both before and after the move, try and get as many roots as possible
then give it a prune by a third.
