A lot of it is common sense Tercol, for example don't move things in late spring or summer as it will stress the plant/shrub/tree and it will also need a lot more water. Until the GCs appeared and folk wanted to buy plants i flower to put in their gardens all perennials were planted in September/October to allow them to establish overwinter an flower the following spring. Badfish know his plants too you know!

Conifers don't like being moved at the best of times but to move it at this time of year is asking for trouble.
If it's going brown then i would say that it was on the way out. Sorry.
