Transplanting a Mature Honeysuckle Vine

A 3-year-old honeysuckle on a 5-foot trellis can be moved with careful root preservation.

Steps

1. Cut vine back to 1 foot above ground now (or early spring).
2. Dig largest possible root ball.
3. Replant immediately; water weekly until established.
4. Mulch well; fertilize with 12-12-12 in spring.

Fall or early spring are best. The vine will recover and re-climb the trellis.
