when is the best time of year to transplants a crepe myrtle?

Answer 1

There was an article today in the newspaper about this. The answer is the winter when the plant is completely dormant

Answer 2

Best planting time is fall when the plant is about to, or is losing, its leaves, but before the ground freezes. What people don't realize is that roots continue to grow even after leaves fall. If you plant at that stage, the bush is mostly dormant and won't need to feed leaves, but it gives the roots more time to grow before winter and to establish the plant, so that in the spring it's in better shape than if you planted in winter or spring. Give it dry fertilizer when planting, and keep it watered well until freezing. Give it some liquid fertilizer too, to assist the roots.

Answer 3

Depends on a lot of factors but If you are transplanting an established specimen from one location to another I would wait until the plant is dormant, ie: late fall early winter

Answer 4

In the fall so the roots can get re-established throughout the winter. Just make sure you dig pretty far out around it.......not too close to the tree. You don't want to chop off too many roots.
