They might well sulk this year - but if you want them, you will have to be patient, I fear. You might be lucky - I do hope so! Pop them in quickly and they might not notice! ;-)

How big are the trees? You could certainly move smaller shrubs and fruit bushes, roots wrapped in hessian. A tree is rather different. You have to dig a trench out as far as the canopy extends, cut the roots there, dig the tree out onto the hessian and transport it! Rather a big task - depending on the size of the trees. Are the trees very special to you? In other words, it can be done, but with difficulty and lots of muscle and person-power!
