Transplanting apples not yet domant

4 responses

Ilijas says... I'd move them. They can sometimes hold on to their foliage and appear not to be dormant, but they're not doing any growing, and that's the time to move them.	About the Author Ilijas Melbourne 7th August 2012 6:17pm #UserID: 6805 Posts: 29 View All Ilijas's Edible Fruit Trees
EalaBann starts with ... Hi all, I have a row of apples that need to be transplanted, but I'm losing patience with them not going into winter dormancy! The trees are two years old and have been trained as cordons, so shouldn't be a huge task to move. I had really hoped to get started on this task this weekend. Do you think it will be OK to move them or should I hang out until (if?!) they lose their leaves? Many thanks	About the Author 3 WA 7th August 2012 2:52pm #UserID: 2533 Posts: 54 View All 3's Edible Fruit Trees

Pauline says... Agreed. When they are young they hold their leaves through winter sometimes, but aren't growing.	About the Author Pauline Adelaide 7th August 2012 7:38pm #UserID: 1532 Posts: 293 View All Pauline's Edible Fruit Trees

John Mc says... In my opinion, August is the best month for transplanting trees, that's here in NSW at least, I don't know if other parts of the country would be any different. I have probably a dozen 3-4 yo trees that need to be moved.	About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 8th August 2012 6:05pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees

EalaBann says... Thanks for the advice. We finally transplanted them two weeks a go (about half still holding leaves) and they seem to have settled well. Fingers crossed.	About the Author 3 WA 12th September 2012 3:12pm #UserID: 2533 Posts: 54 View All 3's Edible Fruit Trees
