the winter. However,
evergreen plants can be moved during the
growing season. Your degree of success
will depend on several factors. One is
how good a job you can do digging the
plant with an intact ball of soil and
roots. Plants with extremely fibrous root
systems such as azaleas are easier to dig
than shrubs like Japanese hollies. Make
sure there is adequate soil moisture
prior to digging and re-planting in the
new site. Naturally, a plant which has
been moved is going to need tender,
loving care when it comes to mulching and
watering. Common sense also tells us to
try and avoid moving plants during the
hottest, most stressful parts of the
summer.
