Transplanting Blue Rug Juniper & Crape Myrtle in Atlanta: Wait for Fall

Atlanta, GA. Move 2-yr-old Blue Rug junipers & crape myrtle (too big for spot). OK now or wait?

Summer Move = High Risk

Heat + transplant shock = likely death. Wait until fall (cooler, rain).

If Must Move Now

  • Water heavily before/during/after.
  • Dig largest possible root balls.
  • Shade cloth over plants for 2 weeks.
  • Mulch deeply.

Fall success rate near 100%; summer maybe 50%.
