Re potting a well established Rhododendron
By Christof
United Kingdom 
I need to re pot a rhododendron. According to all the information I have read the time to do this is during the growning season.(early spring, summer, early autumn). The plant in question at present has the buds that form the new leaves just breaking thru. The question is ' is it still classed as early autumn in the south of England' or should I wait until spring? Chris (Kent,UK)

Why, John? It's great! Makes me feel as if I know something occasionally - (I'm a fraud, really!) lol.

Hi Chris! well, the calendar says it's early autumn, but the weather seems to have decided that it is later in the year.
However, I can't see why you shouldn't move your Rhododendron as it is in a pot. It would give it more room and therefore more nutrients, wouldn't it. Root-bound plants are much more difficult to re-pot.
