When and How to Transplant Camellias
There are a number of reasons why you may want to move your camellia plant.
Sometimes the light changes as nearby trees grow, or you might not have realized how large the shrub would become once it was mature.

And by the way, if you want to learn more about how to grow camellias, check out our guide.
In this guide, we’re going to discuss how to move and transplant your camellia successfully. Here’s what we’ll talk about:
Before we get started, it is worth pointing out that if your camellia is more than four feet tall, don’t try transplanting it on your own.
With a plant of this size, you won’t be able to dig as deep and as wide as is necessary to preserve enough of the roots to keep it alive. In this case you’d be better off hiring someone with professional equipment to move your shrub.
Additionally, if for some reason you need to get rid of a camellia, or are worried that it won’t survive the transplanting process, make sure you take a cutting and propagate a new plant.
Camellia roots are shallow and wide, with a few deep anchor roots. Unless you have restrained the size of your shrub through pruning, the roots will have spread as wide as the widest branches.
Keep that in mind when planning your move.
