Is it possible to move a mature Gardenia radicans? It's flowering at the

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.

Thanks! I'm rather fond of this gardenia and don't want to lose her.
