‘salright, I plan on transplanting a Japanese maple soon so I appreciate the advice! Thanks for posting anyway. :)
just remember, don’t move until the leaves are gone...I had to bury a dog of mine during winter...my son in law dug out the hole I had prepared before the winter...when she passed we had about 6 inches of ice and snow on top of the hole, covered with a tarp....put in a bail of hay and then tarped it...He had to burn out the bale o hay, it was easy, just ran a stream of gas about 5 foot from the grave site and lit the gas.
