whento mowe a jap marple

Planted it last spring, but think I have planted it a bit to close to the path, so what is the best time to mowe it a bit

The fall after it is dormant!
That being said, I've moved many larger plants in the middle of the summer. The key is getting a root ball big enough that the plant doesn't know it's being moved.

Hi Pia
Hi Bob you old earth dog

Pia,if you only planted it last spring you may well get away with moving it now. Take as big a root ball as possible, and prepare the planting hole in advance, so that the tree is out of the ground for as short a time as possible (it might not even notice being moved, as OED says ) and water well in

Just come dig it up
My hands are stupid, so how big can I expect a rootball in sandy soil to be ?
