Title: When is best time to transplant Ezperanza shrubs in Buda, TX?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:
I need to transplant 2 huge Esperanza's...when is the best time to uproot them and not kill them?ANSWER:
The short answer is; not now, because the weather is much too hot! If you can wait until after November, you will have a better chance of success.
You have apparently submitted a similar inquiry about transplanting Esperanza (Tecoma stans (Yellow bells) as question # 9831, and Mr. Smarty Plants will give you the long answer under that number.
