    When you remove them from the mother tree, make sure that they have some roots on them. I would actually pot them up and keep them in a somewhat shady location and keep them well watered until you see them producing new growth. Then you can transplant to a new location and treat as you would any other newly planted tree.

    As long as they are smaller trees, yes, you can do this. The larger the tree, the more likely it is to go into shock and die when move, especially when moved into a pot.

    If you plan on doing this, I would do so now and keep them well watered. This will allow them to acclimate to the pots and they will be healthy looking by the wedding. If you do it close to the wedding, the trees may go into shock and not have time to recover from teh shock before the wedding.

    Wet weather has resulted in molds growing where we don't normally see them. Use a broad spectrum fungicide on your trees. As for the suckers, think of them as branches. There are no roots to transplant. Cut them off at the ground.

    It should not be an problem, just wash it off and wash it away from the tree roots system.

    This has to do with size of the plants, depending on what they are and where you get them - varies from place to place. The normal range for pots sizes is #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, and #10. Generally speaking, the larger the number, the larger the pot, and usually, the larger the plant. Most shrubs/trees are at least a year old prior to selling them.

    Spring and early fall are the best times to move plants. The key is to do your best to keep the plants from going into shock. This article will help you with that:
