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. "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... "Janice" wrote in message ...

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. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

"..........That would be fine if he does not mind losing at least one year's

Franz I moved a viburnum last Autumn, its growing well now. -- Tumbleweed Remove theobvious before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |

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 "David Hill" wrote in message ...

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.
