Talkback: Transplanting shrubs

IN MY ALLOTMENT THERE IS A BORDER THAT GOSE ALLAROUND THE ALLOTMENT AND THE GIRLS THAT RUN IT PUT IN A LOAD OF SHRUBS THAT THEY GOT FROM A GARDEN CENTRE BUT THEY NEVER TENDED TO THEM AND THE WEEDS TOOK OVER AND THEY NEVER GOT GOING SO I TOOK CUTINGS FROM THEM AND THE ONES THAT ARE SUFERING I TOOK OUT AND POTED THEM UP AND PRUND THEM AND THEN GUST HOPE THAT THEY WOOD CUME BACK IT MUST HAVE COST THEM A LOAD OF MONEY IT IS VERY SAD THAT THIS AS HAPEND IT COULD BE SPENT ON BETTER THINGS

All the garden books, advice sites say shrubs should be transplanted in Autumn or Winter. I have moved loads of shrubs around in Spring and Summer (never in winter) and not lost one yet! Why dont they tell people this when they ask?

bought two goosberry bushes last year looked like a couple of sprigs gave them a clip at the back end will i get fruit this year

Can I move a wintersweet now? was planted in wrong position
