Post #7126869

Hi-

We are having a plumbing crisis at home, and my husband is about to dig a big hole to get to the clean out pipe to replace it. The problem is that the clean out sits square between a 20 year old camelia (about 18" away from the clean out), and an 8 yeard old gardenia (about 18 away on the other side).

Can I have my husband dig up the gardenia, with a root ball around 18 inches, wrap it in a wet sheet, and store it in shade, until he gets the plumbing fixed? I would hope that we could get it back in the ground within a couple of days. Any other suggestions how we might protect the camelia?

He's standing there with a shovel waiting for responses, so the sooner the better. THANK YOU!!

Patty
