For your information, spider mites aren't true spiders (which of course I am), but arachnids. All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. "spider mite", indeed! ;~) If you're reading this, Spider, do you think I could switch my Tree No3 with Treem No.2? They have been in the ground less than six months. The shapes that I can see forming would be ideal for their locations if I switched their positions. Are apple trees of this age tolerant to being replanted? I'm guessing their root system will still be 'dig-uppable'. JD I am reading this, Jake. After less than six months, you could certainly move your trees *again* ... one last time. As I said in my earlier reply to your other post, the mystery garden tour for your poor trees is not helping them establish. If you really want to do it, wait until November and do the deed then, but please make it the last time, then keep on top of watering and nutrition for a couple of years so they can settle down. You may even want to replant with one of these micorrhyzal root growth products. Have a google and see what you think. It's a very personal decision, not least because they're expensive. -- Spider.
