What is the best way to transfer an azalea tree?

Answer by  jeestes82 (105)

General rules are to transplant when the temperature is cooler like in the morning and to disturb the root system as little as possible. If transferring out of a pot and is root-bound, scratch the root ball to encourage root growth. If digging out of ground - keep as much of the roots intact as possible. Always water thoroughly afterward.

It's best to move the tree in the spring or fall. Tie the roots into a ball and then cover the roots with a burlap bag that is secured so the tree and roots stay in place. You can also cut the top of the tree to reduce stress.

Find a local supplier that transports plants, locally or long distance, make an offer for transfer of an Azalea. It will usually be around 25-30 dollars.
