    @Alchemist, re the Potentilla, I'm not sure I know how old that one is, I've got 3 of those, the biggest must be at least 10 years, the one I've just moved about 7 or 8 I think, and the smallest about 3 years. They are all just coming into leaf, I have the impression a bit late this year?

    @Lizzie27 thanks; having never moved a plant this old it’s good to know there is some hope!

    That's what I thought too KT53, especially when a patio was mentioned.

    Yes, it was a weigela, not coppiced as such, but I just cut it back to where there was a possible growth point. Can't remember exactly what time of year it was though, it was over 30 years ago!

    And keep it watered all summer and into the autumn if it is a dry Autumn.
