Transplanting Fernspray False Cypress: October Is Ideal

October is the perfect time to move a fernspray false cypress. Cooling air reduces stress while warm soil encourages root growth before winter. Dig with a generous root ball, replant immediately, water deeply, and continue biweekly watering until April if rainfall is lacking. This timing gives the shrub the best chance to establish.
