yucca transplanting

Question

How is best when wanting to move long established plants? These are about 20 yrs old and I would like to move them to a sunny spot, the trees have become very large.

Answer 1

For most plants, the best time for transplanting is when they are in a dormant state, or Fall. Although yucca are very tough plants, moving them during the extreme temps of the summer is ill advised.
