Flowering Almond Transplant

Question

I have a flowering almond on the south side of our house. It’s doing well, but I need to move it, as we need the space it’s in. What’s the best way to move it or transplant some of the suckers?

Answer 1

Get up as much of the tree roots and surrounding soil as possible and transplant into a suitable area. The key is to successful transplanting is to do your best to keep the plant from going into shock.
