Transplanting golden rain - is that possible?
Those who cultivate a laburnum in the garden have certainly made a good choice. The golden yellow flower beauty is an eye-catcher and a fragrant bee pasture. But can you transplant it if necessary? The circumstances must be right for that.
The Umpflanzrelevant properties of the golden rain
The noble laburnum, Laburnum watereri, the hybrid variety most commonly cultivated in gardens and parks, is an overgrown ornamental shrub that wants to develop as freely as possible during its lifetime. So it is relatively sensitive to damage both on the treetop, and on the flat, fleshy root system. He does not like to be cut at all and disturbed by digging in the root soil. If anything, it should only be minimally cut back, because cuts wounds he tedious.
Apart from the fact that he is reluctant to grow into the growth, the laburnum is very frugal and easy to care for. A conversion due to bad development is therefore hardly meaningful. It thrives in virtually all soils, as long as they are not too sour and blooms, although he prefers sunny, even in the shade quite well.
All these features:
basically talk against transplanting.
Choose location from the beginning
If you plant a laburnum in your garden, you should think twice about the location, because it should be as final as possible. Since he has a relatively compact growth, he does not take up too much space. Nor will he throw too much shadow through his light crown.
Transplanting at most at a young age
However, if you want to implement the laburnum partout, for example because the planting location does not suit you by the previous tenant, this is only sensible for a still young specimen. Even when he is a few years old, he should no longer be expected to transplant - the inevitable root and crown trauma is hardly worth it because of the short lifespan.
In the implementation of a young plant, you should make sure that you excavate the root ball as generously as possible and prepare a correspondingly large new planting hole at the new location. If possible, avoid the pruning usually associated with transplanting. If necessary, shorten a few thin shoots that are not more than 2 cm thick.
