Can you imagine clearing all the shrubs without having seen them flower? Breaks your heart doesn't it? I hope your transplanting is successful.

I think you have the right idea. As much rootball as possible, minimal disruption, then good compo, a scatter of BF&B and a really good soaking. I would expect it to sulk for a year or so - given the size - so it might just sit still and do nothing... But so worthwhile to save a beautiful Daphne like that..

this link says it is easy and tells you how to do it. I think it might be a good idea to take some cuttings as well if you can. http://www.ehow.com/how_7392571_transplant-daphne-shrubs.html
