    Mornin' all
    I have a Witch Hazel in the wrong place. Can it be safely moved now or should I wait until the Autumn ?

    Thank you,

    Dogsbody

    I would leave it to the Autumn, db, as there is too much risk of damaging the fine roots.
    How big is the shrub.:scratch:

    Thanks Armandii,
    it's about 4ft high and it's been in its present position for about 2 years.
