Hello All,
Just after some advice, I have a Leptospermum Cardwell app 1metre tall in the ground, hard clay soil.
What’s the ideal time to dig out please?

Re: Garden dig
Hi Neil,
I've had success digging in the warmer months. Dug a couple leptos mid December 2020 and they all survived.
Good luck. Keep us updated how you go.

Re: Garden dig
Some experienced native growers report they can dig and repot natives in Melbourne any time of year but if there is a choice I would also wait till warmer weather.

Re: Garden dig
Although I haven't dug a Lepto, I did bare-root one and leave the pot in a shallow water bath, on advice - it may help after a garden dig.
