Res ipsa loquitur
Raggedyann's mother passed 4 weeks ago and we're getting ready to put the house on the market. MIL had several large Peony plants that were incredibly beautiful, well established and incredibly healthy. there is a lot of sentimental value in these plants for Raggedyann and we'd like to move/transplant them from their current location to Raggedy acres. we're aware that the ideal time to move these mature plants (16 years in their current location) is actually the late September and into October time frame but we doubt the house will be listed that long.
assuming we HAD to move them before the ideal time this fall . . . COULD they be safely moved and be immediately transplanted AND if so is there anything special that needs to be done with them - either before, during or after they're dug? i.e. should they be split or pruned way back when transplanted?
any advice is appreciated . . . I want them to have the very best opportunity to thrive in their new home
many thanks
