Moving large crape myrtles

[@scrapironprepper]

Thanks for the video. I was hoping to see the removal. I have about 30 crepe myrtles and need to move four to a different location I n my yard. Now I have a better idea of what to do.

Is there a follow up video? We’re the transplants a success?

I dig the hole first, then dig out the tree, then set it in the hole, usually without getting off the backhoe.

Do their feeder roots invade septic systems? How far away must these be planted from septic field drain lines? Thanks for this great video on moving crapes.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm looking for the same information

How do you move a large crepe myrtle planted too close to foundation with wires above? What would you suggest please?

That’s a loaded question. Depends on how close. Crapes are a fibrous plant and very forgiving of done at the right time. Mid fall to early mid winter is the best time. The roots will build even though the leaves are off. You would not want to do this if the ground is frozen or will freeze within a 2 weeks of planting
