  • Butterfly tree.

    Is it okay to move mine now before it starts to flower?
    The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
    A weed is just a flower in the wrong place.

    Not sure what plant you are referring to. Buddleia?

        How big is it, busman and how long has it been growing in the same position? A photo would help.
        The wild buddleia here is just starting to send out new shoots.

          If you do decide to move it, take some cuttings first. They will root easily and then you can start again if the move doesn't go according to plan.

            It's been growing in the same spot for about 5 years. It's approximately 4ft tall as I cut it back every year

              Well I attempted to move my butterfly yesterday. Result...........failed. I snapped one fork handle. After diging down 18 inches the trunk was still 10 inches round.

                  It is Nicos. My arms are covered in scratches from where it fought back

                        Ha!...plans

                        Just been reading up on them...the biggest ones often need to be injected with industrial strength glyphosate- like the invasive rhododendrons which are being cleared in the countryside.

                          Going to leave it where it is and prune it every year.
