Better to wait until autumn Boff

Hi Boff,
We had to move a pieris in a hurry - too large and in the way etc, this was a couple of years back. It ended up in my nextdoor neighbour's garden and is quite happy. If you must do it before autumn, then now before weather warms up. Its chances will be better if you prepare the spot it's going to well before digging it up. Good luck.
