My mother received a hydrangea tree as a memorial for my stepfather two years ago. I planted it against her garage so it gets protection from the west wind and all the east sun it wants. Now she is moving in the spring and wants me to take it. At present it is about 3 feet tall and as wide. I am wondering how big these things get and what is the best way to transplant it down here at my house. I can put it the same type of situation it is in now, protected from the west and north winds, but I don't want a monster planted next to my house. Any words of wisdom would make this winter go much smoother, I wouldn't stress about it. It means the world to her and I don't want it to not make it. If I know what to do I can tell her so she will relax also.

Thanks,
