Spreading/ Relocating A Grape Holly

Question

I want to separate and replant my grape holly. It’s gorgeous but blocked by a fence…I can’t dig it up, right? I’d need to find the root ball…but the ground is rock hard! Can I get cuttings to root?

Answer 1

Sure, cuttings will take just fine! Keep in mind- they do prefer to be cramped up and shaded by other trees, so where you intend to plant it needs to be out of direct sunlight for the most part.
