Rhubarb/RHS Gardening
It's usual to move or plant things in their dormant season, because they aren't going to suffer real stress at that time. eg, when it's hot and dry, a cutting cannot take up as much water as it transpires, so it dies.
You will find fruit bushes at the cheaper supermarkets and £ shops virtually all year, but these have not been kept in optimal conditions, ie they're treated like dead cans of beans and not given enough light, humidity & moisture
So it really does pay you to wait until the right timeAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
