Question

ight. Hacked to 15cm above ground height. Originally 1m tall. Will they grow again if I transplant? If so, tips to promote survival please

Answer 1

I would wait until they recover to transplant, but only transplant if the health of the shrub is at risk where it is, now.

These shrubs enjoy a good hard pruning, as this can restore their health and shape.
