when to transplant a tiny mimosa tree under a deck located in tennessee

Question

tiny mimosa tree located under a porch deck want to transplant it to a sunny better area to grow. location is stewart TN 37175. can this be done in May?

Answer 1

Absolutely not! This will result in the quick death of the tree. These trees are highly invasive here in Tennessee, but this is not the appropriate time to transplant. This is especially true with the VERY HOT weather we have been experiencing lately.

I would recommend waiting until next spring to do so. This will ensure the best chance of survival after transplant.
