Moving an Acer

Moray, Scotland Sco

Hi fellow GoY'ers someone asked me for good dates for planting an acer in the ground this autumn 16 - 18 October would be a good time :-)

Thanks MG.... that will have been me ! I will bear that in mind if and when I move my one....from the sitootery.

The best time to plant any trees is in the dormant time, prepare the area in which it should grow. If the Acer is already purchased and is in a pot, plunge the pot in the ground until the autumn, then plant after leaf fall.

No it is in Alzheimer's 'sitootery' which now has a roof

Oh! right, sorry.

No prob. Alzheimer asked for advice in a question and then asked me best time in lunar terms to move the acer. I forgot to check then and there - then couldn't remember who had asked the question!

Thanks everybody....
just home from A&E ....hence delay in responding! As MG said - it was a Lunar Query ....and the dates are now in my diary in case I DO decide to move the acer.

And for why were you in A & E?

Oh dear...well ...being a mad labrador owner...I was on the disused local golfcourse with my pair - a friend's one had done a runner and I caught him! He rewarded me by yanking me off my feet...onto my already frozen shoulder!! OUCH! One flake # and a massively torn joint and I am in a collar and cuff..feeling my age +++ !! This has been a VERY painful year - and no end in sight!! Thanks for asking, MG...old age - don't let it happen to you!

Oh dear sounds horribly painful - do take care. I suspect that many of us GoY are no longer spring chickens but old broilers!

Yes, growing old is not very nice, but I for one didn't fancy the alternative. LOL.
