We want to move houses and have an eye on a place with a very much

Problem is that our 2 cherry trees are possibly too established to
dig ou

and replant. I have had no luck with google.
They were planted 3 years ago, bare rooted and are now aprox.3m(10')
high with 41mm (1 3/4") trunk.

Can I do this?

Waste of time.
Even if you succeed, they will have such a setback that new trees will
catch them up.


Ah! My reason was to have a head start over new ones.
David WE Roberts and Jake have responded to this post and have also advised
not to move them.
So new trees it is then.

I will be taking the Victoria Plum and Bramley Apple which were planted
this year.

All of this is dependant on finding a buyer for our present house, and
things in the property market are sloooow.

Thanks.
