Can I Move My Holly Shrubs That Are About 6′ Tall Without Harming Them?

Question

I planted two large holly shrubs, one on each side of my front stairs about 2 years ago. I planted them a little too close to the stairs and would like to move them over about a foot and a half, I’m wondering if doing this would kill or harm them? They are gorgeous, large shrubs and I don’t want to move them if it will risk killing them.

Answer 1

If it is done correctly and at the right time, it shouldn't kill them, but of course you always run that risk. Here are instructions:
