ᐅ Is it advisable to plant boxwood shrubs on the new property already?

Hello,

I hope someone here can help me.

Our house will be ready to move into early next year. In the apartment where we currently live, there is a flowerbed in front of the terrace where I have planted some plants that I would like to take with me. Especially my boxwood plants have grown quite tall, and I would prefer not to leave them behind.

Since I assume I won't be allowed to remove the plants from the garden next spring (conflicts with our landlords), I would like to transplant them now if possible. Unfortunately, our plot is still a complete mess at the moment. Only the concrete slab is in place.

If I plant the plants at the back end of the property now and possibly move them again next year or the year after, would that work?
Or should I keep the root balls wrapped in plastic in our current garage and later overwinter them in our utility room?

What would be the best approach?

Thank you,
Julia

Trial and error makes you wiser. I would try to move it. If it works, great; if not, tough luck. The risk is relatively low.
You just need to be sure that it is really your property.

Choose a sheltered corner on your property and plant there. Don’t forget to water as long as there is no frost.

Either it takes or it doesn’t. Bare root planting should be avoided, it doesn’t work well.

Make sure to add good compost underneath so the roots have a healthy environment 🙂

We have the same disaster and we are just waiting for the scaffolding to be removed so we can start planting.

Thanks for your answers.

Well, we don’t really have protected corners yet. I’ll have to see if I should place them closer to the neighbor.

Definitely! Paid for them, planted and maintained myself ;-)
