Hymalayan Honeysuckle
-
Douglas Hunt on Apr 01, 2013Grace, I'll admit that I had never heard of this plant until your question, although it apparently has its devotees in the northwestern part of the United States. Generally speaking the best time to transplant is when a plant is dormant. So if your trees have not yet leafed out, now would be the perfect time. That being said, from what I've read, Himalayan honeysuckle (Leycesteria formosa) is usually described as aggressive or vigorous (or, for those in Australia or New Zealand, a nuisance weed), which suggests to me that you could probably move them at any time without too much concern, especially if they are not too large. The keys to a successful transplant are getting enough of the rootball and keeping the soil moist until the tree gets reestablished in its new location. Good luck.Helpful Reply
