Lemon Verbena is an evergreen shrub or tree (to 26ft/8m) tall here in San Diego, CA. This one was planted in the wrong spot...it's only 6ft/2m after 2 year. Unfortunately, my plant which will have to be moved. Has any had any experience moving one? Photo was taken April 21, 2011.

The leaves are actually coarse and hard. It smells like lemons though. I use the leaves in ice tea and in cooking.
