I am talking to Polly about transplanting a tree and then I say to myself let me look it up maybe it's just me--and sure enough the Guava is not as easy as one would think. So many times we all think every plant is the same as another one but the reality is you must look them up. Every plant is not the same. The Bouganvilla is one of the most difficult to transplant it hates to be disturbed. When you buy one at a store buy the ten or fifteen gallon one it will cost you a bit more but it has a chance of living. The five gallon pots are very difficult I would give a estimate at 50% will die. This is how difficult they are. Most nursery people will tell you to just cut the bottom out to transplant and it will take a few years to establish. And you think really?? A few years?? The Guave hates it's roots to be distrubed as well I have noticed everytime I go to transplant one it goes into a long period of little growth and shock. You must be ready to move it into the new hole as soon as you dig it up. Try and get every piece of it's root ball and have all the soil ready for it. Water it every other day to make sure it takes and you can give it some very mild organic fertilzer a small amount. Compost is best. Once established this tree is drought tolerant and will produce a lot of very nice fruit. But it's very pickey when transplanted. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/guava/transplanting-guava-trees.htm I wonder how many other of our fellow gardeners have notice other plants they have tried to transplant?? please share any stories ---tinac
