NE here, I had to transplant one batch of babes recently, they had been discovered by potential rippers and it was my only option. They are 5-8 feet tall and were a PITA to move, took over 4 hours. However I think this weather is playing to my advantage because according to fdd, too much direct sun after moving a plant (from in the ground where it's roots had plenty of room to grow) can cause major stress, especially since getting the entire root ball and keeping it in tact is nearly impossible. Also the constant showers are giving them a much needed drink. So for now, I'm happy with the weather but I'm not saying I'll feel the same way in a couple of days..
