My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tips for transplanting Desert Museum Palo Verde?

9 years ago

I'm asking this in AZ although I live in inland foothills of San Diego.

I planted a small 5 gal Desert Museum Palo Verde about 1.5yrs ago and realize I chose a bad spot. (wind will be a huge problem and too close to stairs) When is the best time to do this? Should transplant occur during our hot dry summer or wait til fall when the cool rainy season starts? Or wait til the yellow flowers stop etc. Any tips appreciated.
