Moving Shrubs
 

I've planted a couple of shrubs too close to each other so I need to move
one of them.

So, which is easier to move -- buddleja davidii or viburnum tinnus? Both
are currently about the same size.

Thanks.

Hi, Franz. The buddleja is about 6 feet tall, but it will be cut severely
back to a couple of feet in February. The viburnum is about 3 feet tall and
wide.

Thanks.

Why not take cuttings of the Buddleia end of Sept, then if it doesn't
survive the move you will still have a plant to replace it.

My own guess is that the Viburnun tinus is going to be easier to move.

That would be fine if he does not mind losing at least one year's flowers
while the Buddleia cutting beds itself in.

And if the viburnum tinnus doesn't take the move its a total loss.
The buddleia will flower next year, granted not as much flower as this years
bush, but will still flower.

probably the viburnam would be easiest to move but it should be starting
into flower growth,so this could be affected!i would move the buddleja,in
autumn & plant it were it has room to grow,it can be cut right back.They are
quite cheep to replace compared to a good sized viburnam.but i think it
would be o.k.
hope this helps

Keith, you're right - the buddleja was cheaper and it grew like crazy in
just one year, compared to the viburnum which is plodding along at a much
slower rate and is probably four times more expensive. So, the buddleja
will be the one I'll move.

Many thanks.
