moving plants
I know it's best to do this in autumn when they're dormant.
I assume it's risky to do it now, but is it universally the case for all plants or are some a little more amenable? What about a ceanothus just about to flower. Risky? Certain death? |

Probably not certain death, but I would expect reduced or no flowering this year. But then it will have a full year to recover for a good flowering next year. Steve |

I see what you mean. Though in the light of shazzbat's alert about risk to flowering, I might just leave it till autumn anyway. Thanks to you both. |

What about a ceanothus just about to flower. Risky? Certain death? Talking about careful relocation of plants............ In November last year, I had a fence erected - concrete posts/gravel boards etc. To accommodate this, 4 or 5 hedging plants were removed by builders (therefore not with particularly great care). The plants were 5 years old and all the top growth/foliage was cut off and shredded leaving about 18" of "trunks" only with roots. These were dumped behind the shed with very little earth still attached to the damaged roots (pending removal to the tip). A month or so later, by way of an experiment, I re-planted two of the specimens and one to them has survived all the abuse and is now shooting! Until the shoots have developed a bit more I won't be able to identify the miracle plant, but could be ceanothus or cotoneaster. I was genuinely amazed to see either survive. Phil |
