A lot of shrubs & bushes are dormant now in TX. Makes transplanting easier.

Might suggest crepe myrtles. They are forgiving when you transplant root suckers. Grow quickly. Am told the best time to transplant them is after hard frost has happened and they shed their leaves. I have even been successful in transplanting them during warm weather. They are my wife’s favorite plant, are very pretty when they bloom.

Thanks Tex. I think I will try that as they are nearly impossible to kill. I have an ugly driveway area where that will work.
