PLANTS DIFFICULT TO TRANSPLANT AND THOSE ADAPTED FOR TRANSPLANTING AT SPECIFIC SEASONS OF THE YEAR
The fact is well appreciated that of all our great range of materialused in landscape plantings there are a certain number of these speciesand varieties which are better adapted to being transplanted at somespecific season, either during the spring or during the fall. It is gener-ally safe to assume that plants such as the poplars, willows, and the roseof Sharon, the wood of which is late in ripening, should preferably betransplanted in the spring. If these types are transplanted in the fall,they are, during a normal severe winter, subjected to a considerablewinter-killing, and must be severely cut back in the early spring;whereas, if planted in the spring they almost invariably continue cogrow and require little or no cutting back.
