I am a tree neophyte that would appreciate some advice in transplanting a 5 -6 foot unnamed JM from a neighbor's yard (about 6 blocks away) to mine. Is it possible tfor such a successful transplant? if so, when would be an optimal time? Currently the ground is not frozen and the JM has been in that site for at least 6-7 years. I have a perfect sheltered site for it to receive morning sun and for optimal gardening pleasure. If it is a lost cause, they plan to "chop it down and dump it" Thanks in advance!
