You get both a resounding YES and a deafening NO at the same time. So many variables, such different conditions, unknowable health, root conditions, plant sizes... I've tried it and won't do it again. Not with anything I can't call a seedling or a recent transplant, and definitely not here. Tell us more.

Hi Wendy, and welcome.

You can but it would be at risk, and there will be some transplant shock. Transplant shock will set you back maybe a few weeks if the plants are happily settle in and producing, or if you are not careful you could hurt them. You did not tell us how large the plants are and how long you have left in your season to make up time and get the plants reestablished, or how long the roots have been established in the current location in the garden to assess how much of the roots will get ripped up. Whatever you do, if transplanting you need to take as much soil and disturb as little as possible ... the roots. If there are fruits on the plants I would not do it unless the plant absolutely had to go.

Cheers

It depends on how tall/big your plant is and how old it is.

I personally can do it IFF I can manage to top. Obviously I won't do it , eg, with a 7 ft plant. Wit 2', 3ft, maybe.
