Moving Stuff (mainly fruit but veg and flowers too)

[Jardiniere]

Very shortly I shall have to move a number of things from my small garden to my larger plot on the river or to my even tinier side garden.
Can anyone advise me on best time and method for moving

A rather sad looking Apricot Tree (2 years old)
Two very poorly pear trees (1 Year old)
2 Very old grape vines (Knarled and twisted!)
Half a dozen blackcurrants (grown from cuttings this year)
Ditto Gooseberries
An olive bush (about 4 years old)
Asparagus roots (Two years in and would be harvestable next year!)
3 Rhubarb Crowns
6 Raspberry plants (summer fruiting)
A hypericum bush
Various perennials just established - lupin, hollyhock, daisy things, rudbeckia?

Don't know the answer Jardiere (sorry) but would love to know the advice from other grapes as I have a similar predicament!

The only thing I've moved of the above list was a gooseberry - it didn't produce well the summer after I moved it (Nov. I think) but this year I had more goosegogs than I could handle.

Looking through your list, everything should move OK with the exception of the very old grapevines. If I were you I would prepare the site(s) and then dig up and move the plants. They need to be out of the ground for as short a time as possible so better not to try and do it all at once. Dig up with as much root as possible and pop into their new home at the same planting depth as before. Water in well and keep an eye on them to make sure they don't dry out. Autumn is a good time for moving things.

When they are dormant is the best time with most established stuff but there's no guarantee. If things are poorly and struggling, why don't you replace them?
