I'm thinking of getting a new Cytisus battandieri to replace the large
one I have, which looks as if it will expire in the next year or so. I
would put the new one in a spot on its own and leave it to get used to
my climate. Can I then dig it up (carefully) and transplant it into the
proper site in a year or so? Or will it object to that?

It will object, possibly seriously. I would put it in a fairly large,
deep pot, and replant from that.

Seconded, also if you hard prune the original after flowering you may well
find it has a new lease of life (NB not below the graft!)

Are they grafted? I just noticed the other day that mine has put up a
sucker from underground, very close to the main stem.
