I would suppose that it does depend on the size of the tree you want to move, but in any case this would be attempted around December so that  it would have a chance to re-establish itself. This tree can grow from ludicrously large cuttings so one could consder the transplanted tree as one, with the bonus of some existing roots.

Either way a well watered cutting can grow amazingly fast, 3m+ a year is not out of the ordinary in it's second year so a replacement is an option.

Is it possible to uproot, and plant again this tree,and if so, when is the,ideal time to do this.
Thanks

Our timetable is flexible so may do just that. Our family is horrified that we may exchange a Cotswold holiday cottage for a beautiful 250-year old House of Character! But Malta has gotten under my skin!
We are heading for a drought and draconian water restrictions, so what I saw and learnt in Malta will stand me in good stead.

Hello Hibernia,

I have a few Erythrina crista galli saplings left over. If interested you can contact me on email  - jayam@onvol.net

If you were to move your next visit by a month or two (max) the countryside will be at its best too.

Watering will be fine as long as the ground is not kept soggy which at this time of year will not be easy, admittedly.

I have a young Tetraclinis articulata in my garden....does it need regular watering at thissstage?- its about 3 feet high.
Also, would like to know where I can obtaing Erythrina crista galli from, if still available?

Thanks

I have just returned from spending two weeks in Malta (Rabat, Sliema and S Julian) and a visit to Gozo. My perceptions of the islands were complete misconceptions! And all my knowledge of gardening there was obtained second-hand from a Malta resident who does not garden! So it came as a complete revelation.
I visited homes with the most beautiful courtyards with pots brimming with colour. and the bouganvillea was even better than what we grow here. It must be a challenge, but the gardeners have risen to it and overcome the odds.
I have fallen in love with Malta. The friendliness of the people, the landscape and wonderful colours and the pride most of the population have in their country overwhelmed me. Not to mention the vegetation and heat - it was like a dream come true!
I will definitely be back (in January), and maybe for good in the future.

Nickys have a hugh selection of seeds and I have brought from them quite a few times now with no problems.

Make sure you are not overwatering.
