It is a treat to walk by a citrus tree in full bloom and smell its intoxicating aroma. One of the wonderful things about citrus trees is that they can be easily grown in containers as well as in the ground.

Q: I have 2 very large hydrangea plants that need to be uprooted and replanted in another location. Would I damage these if I were to split the root of each bush before replanting. Also how deep are the roots to this type of plant and would it need fertilizer for the new location to survive?

Q: We have a Blood Good (I think) Japanese Maple that is about 15 ft. tall. I know the recommended pruning time is after the leaves have dropped. How much pruning can be done now without harming the tree? It is in full afternoon sun.
