Has anyone done this, and could offer any advice? wavey

I have 3 arbs that are about 7' tall. They have been in the ground for 7 years this spring. I want to relocate them, and I guess it's now or never....they are starting to get big!

Im just gonna go for it in March. Any hints would be appreciated. Im going to dig them out by hand, and give them lots of love once replanted. flw

Sparagus, I'm not real sure what you're referring to when you say "arbs"! Duh I tried that word on Google Image & only came up with something that has to do with Air locking differentials and/or Toyota Land Cruisers! Duh

Hi Jiffymouse! wavey

Patty, oops, sorry to be unclear, I do mean Arborvitaes. That's what everyone calls them up here. They were about up to my waist when I planted them (3'ish) and now are peeking over my 6' fence. I consider them pretty tiny, with how huge they seem to get!

That gives me alot to think about. I so want to move them, but dont want them to croak, they were the first things I planted when we got our house. I put them near where I thought the property line was....turns out they are WAY into my yard, we have a fence now and there's room for them on the other side of it. Oh, what to do what to do! Duh

transplant after the last frost. amend the soil (bloodmeal, bonemeal, potash). mix these wiyh the soil for the new hole. also, i suggest superthrive for transplant success.

After the last frost, really? I was thinking it would be better in early spring while still dormant. No? Duh
