"It can be transplanted but I would wait until a frost free Nov. Be aware of Box Bight too."

"Hi Wilma,

I have always found that the best time of the year to move hedges is late autumn or early spring. As October is late autumn I would like to say it would be okay.

Hope this helps."

"Good evening,
If the conditions are right and you're able to dig enough soil with the root ball then there's a high chance of success if you transplant it. Transplanting at this time of year should allow the roots to start to establish ready for the next growing season.
Good luck
Brian"
