Relocating Avocado trees (forum)

Cheltenham2014 starts with ...
Hi All,
I have 2 avacado trees that are about 3 years old and approx 6ft tall. Unfortunately i am moving house but have the oppotunity to take the trees with me. Any suggestions/recommendations on how best to remove/transplant the trees and when would be a good time to do it?

I'd do it mid winter, they are difficult to transplant and have troubles getting water after they are moved. I can't remember ever moving one successfully but I've only tried in warmer parts of the year.

Same, never had success moving avocado's. I lost a larger Avocado just moving it from a barrel pot into the ground. Better leaving in the ground for the new owners and buying new one's. You are going to a lot of effort and cost for disappointment I'm afraid.
