Too late to uproot and relocate Forsythia ?
Hi all ! I have a Forsythia which has slightly overgrown its space and
I want to uproot it and move it to another part of the garden which will allow it sufficient room for future growth. However, it has begun to flower ( not too much though ) and instinct tells me not to cause the dear thing any stress / discomfort by uprooting it in its current state and replanting it elsewhere. What do the Forsythia sages suggest ? :) Thanks, Uncle C Dull , cold, gloomy and unspring-like High Wycombe. ps: Are there any RHS gatherings / workshops in the South Bucks area ? |

Leave it till late autumn when all leaves have fallen. Best Wishes Brian. |
