I have some Camelias I need to relocated to a better area and wanted to know when the best time to move them is. I will also need to move some very well established Cordylines which will go in place of the Camelias after a soil improvement session. Any suggestions?

All are doing very well. The biggest was about 1.5 metres.
But now is not the recommended time to move plants. However, my attitude is that if I want to move a plant I'm going to move it. If it dies then that's "semi-natural selection" at work in my garden. The four camelias I just moved were not terribly happy where they were anyway, so even in the short term they're probably doing better already. So long as you don't move them on a really hot day, and if you make absolutely certain you move them with a nice big clump of soil undisturbed around the roots, then they should be fine. Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: Relocation of Camelias and Cordylines 5Jan 19, 2009 11:19 pm Cabinfever I moved four camelias a week ago.

If you can give it a light clip a week or so before the move to lessen the foliage its roots need to look after.
