RE: Euonymus - an emergency

Louise, if it were me, I would water them well first, cut them back a little
(not too drastic).  At that point can you just dig around them and lean them
out of the way for the work (hopefully leaving some roots in tact)?  Or do
they have to be REMOVED?  If removed, I'd move them to a shady temperate
place and heel them in or pot them up -- I don't know how big these plants
get.  Keep watered, even covered from sunlight if necessary.

Subject: Euonymus - an emergency



Hello,

Sorry to go a bit off topic - I know it's a shrub and not a
perennial but I need some help.  I've got to have some
emergency building work done, and the builders need us to
remove five euonymus shrubs that are in a narrow bed right
next to the house - they've been there for 12 years so are
well established shrubs.  The work should only take three
days, but I don't really know what to do with them for those
three days, before we replant them.  Any ideas?  Would it
help to cut them well back before removing them?  The
builder had the cheek to ask if I wanted to keep the plants,
as though they weren't important!  Hope somebody can help.

Thanks, Louise in southern England
