Hello! I have two huge jasmines that I must move. They've almost covered the front porch where direct sun temps these days reach 120+ in North Carolina! And they seem to love it! When is the best time attempt digging them? Should I do a severe cut back first? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I live in eastern NC and jasmine is a vine. Just cut back. It's hard to kill any vine here that is native to NC.
If you are planing on transplanting the vines it is best to wait until temperatures are cool enough.If that is not possible have the new holes already dug and make sure they are twice the size.Carefully make a large cut around them making sure you are not cutting into the roots.Put a little peat moss in the bottom,move and keep those roots well watered.For best results this should be done in the early morning before the hot sun or a cloudy day in the morning.
Make sure you have a good root ball, soak the hole, soak good afterwards, vitamin B can help prevent shock.
You can out a couple branches under moist dirt and they will root.
