Transplanting a holly bush
I am rather a gardening know-nothing. I have a 6' holly bush in my garden
which I would like to move to another location. Will it survive? Any tips gratefully accepted. Mick |

Mick highly unlikly it will survive the move. Holly put down a tap root and resnet any movement once established. BUT if it is definitely in the wrong place and has to be moved, you have nothing to lose by trying. Take a rootball 2' across and undercut carefully. pk |

Transplanting a holly bush
PK
I want to put a holly bush in a gap in between existing holly bushes. Can they be bought in a pot? If so, when is the best time to plant etc? Mick Mick "PK" wrote in message ...

Transplanting a holly bush
If you are going to move a 6ft holly tree then I would cut a trench about 3
ft from the trunk all round to keep as much root as possible. If the tree was originally container grown then you will have more chance than if it is a natural seedling which may well have a deep tap root. I have moved holly up to 4ft with most surviving, but be ready for a lot of leaf drop. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
