Title: Moving non-native globe willow in Ft. Worth TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:
I planted a globe willow in a small area in front of my house and it is probably going to need more space. Can I replant it in a more open area without killing it? It is about 8-9 ft tall, 2-3 ft of trunk before branches start and maybe 5-6 ft. wide at top. Just wondering.ANSWER:
We just answered this same question to the same e-mail address, but from Mansfield, TX, today. Please see our previous answer.More Non-Natives Questions
