I lost all but one of my Indian Hawthorne right in front of my house--just in front of my front porch. I use to have them on both corners of the house, as well as the front middle. Now I only have them on the north corner. I would like to move them to the front, and then plant something else in the north and south corner beds, Well, actually, they're big circles. I think the view from the front would be much more balanced looking.

I'm just wondering how successful are mature shrub transplants. These are dwarf Indian Hawthorne, and they are very healthy. I know transplanted "anything" looks pretty rough the first year or so.

Well, can't seem to get them to stay right side up. Sorry.
