Re: Transplanting basjoo
I moved 2 basjoos in the middle of the summer, but they were only like 2-3ft tall at the time and tried not to break many roots by taking around a 50lb root ball each by cutting down around all the sides, then popping the plant out.
They still looked droop for a couple days, but quickly recovered and they were planted in open locations 1ft below soil surface to hopefully protect the corms a bit better. They have since then grown to 5-6ft with 4 pups on one and 5 on the other.
I think as long as you get enough of the roots, the transplant shouldn't be too bad.
