    Default Mock Oranges

    I am planning to renovate my garden and I have a few Mock Oranges that have to come out when we get our new fence.

    I don't want to get rid of them or let them die but was wondering if anyone know if they can be transplated to another part of the garden?

    I think it depends how big they are as to how well they transplant. Are they very large?

    Yeah they are quite large but I was planning on giving them a big pruning first.

    That's the best idea. They can be moved but make sure you allow plenty of room for the roots as well and fertilise and water the new spot generously both before you put the plant in and after.

    Thanks for that. They are such lovey plants I didn't want to kill them.

    A weak solution of Seasol will help with transplant shock.
