    Depends on how big and established it is.  We moved a dwarf variety and nearly lost it in last years heatwave.  It has not fully recovered but has survived.  I suggest not moving it till it is dormant in late Autumn or early winter.  Prune back at least one third of the branches, or better still hard prune.  Give plenty of good compost and a bit of bonemeal in the planting hole.  Water during any prolonged dry spells during the winter.  Water and feed regularly next Spring and summer.  You could do some softwood cuttings now to have some backups.
