    It is best to transplant Weigela after its leaves have fallen off in the fall, but before the ground is frozen. It can also be transplanted in early spring. Ninebark, too can be transplanted in late fall or early spring. Hawthorne is best transplanted in early spring.

    As long as you can get a good bit of the roots, which will mean digging out about 2 or 3 feet from the base, then it should survive with no issues. Keep in mind some transplant shock is normal. If your pH is at least 5 or above, then you will be fine there. If you are still concerned, then you can apply dolomitic lime as a buffer. This will ensure that the pH is stable, and close to neutral.

    You will want to transplant these in spring for the best results. Keep them watered until they start to show signs of new growth.

    This is unfortunate. Anything you plant there will suffer the same fate. The only real way to deal with this will be to pull them up or continue cutting them as you see them. Unless you can get rid of the palms, the problem will still persist.

    Fertilizing will help with this. They should grow at a decent rate for a smaller tree. I would suggest dolomitic lime over epsom salt. This will also provide calcium along with magnesium. This is necessary for the magnesium to be taken up. You can add iron sulfate to supplement sulfur and iron which can help with flowering as well. Just follow all instructions on the package.

    As far as when it will flower... This depends on the age of the tree. This can take a few years if it is young.

    Check the soil moisture level. Since the tree is a new planting, ( in the first year) you will need to water during dry spells.

    They also can be susceptible to some disease.

    This is unfortunate, since this will be incurable. You can treat the disease, but eventually it will kill the tree.

    As far as what to feed them... Any well balanced fertilizer will be fine once per year. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/hawthorn/growing-hawthorn-trees.htm
