Question
I need to transplant 2 mature burn bushes. Will they survive? I am in the Catskills and we had a very late spring but the bushes are in bloom

Answer
Terri,

I would recommend waiting until the late fall if you can. If you can't wait for some reason, make sure that you keep them well watered through the entire summer and use a product called Plant Saver by Plant Health Care, Inc. This material contains a small amount of fertilizer, hydrogels and mycchorrizae fungi (a beneficial symbiotic fungi).

Good luck,
Ed Gulliksen
