The properties of golden rain relevant to replanting
The noble laburnum, Laburnum watereri, the hybrid variety most commonly grown in gardens and parks is an ornamental shrub that does not get too old and develops as freely as possible during its life would like to. So he is both at the Treetop, as well as relatively sensitive to damage on the flat, fleshy root system. He doesn't like being cut and digging in the root soil at all. If at all, it should only be cut back minimally, as it is difficult to twist cut injuries.

Apart from the fact that it is reluctant to be tampered with, the laburnum is very frugal and easy to care for. Implementation due to poor development therefore hardly makes sense. It thrives in virtually all soils, as long as they are not too acidic and, although it prefers to be in the sun, it blooms quite well in the shade.
All of these properties:
- not too long life expectancy
- sensitive crown
- sensitive root ball
- generally very frugal
basically speak against transplanting.
Choose your location carefully from the start
If you plant a laburnum in your garden, you should think carefully about the location because it should be the final one if possible. Since it is relatively compact, it does not take up too much space. Also, it will hardly cast too much shadow through its light crown.
Transplant at a young age at most
However, if you want to implement the laburnum outright, for example because the previous tenant does not like the planting location, this is only useful for a still young specimen. Even when he is a few years old, he should no longer be expected to replant - the inevitable stress on the roots and crowns is hardly worthwhile because of the short lifespan.
When moving a plant that is still young, you should make sure that you use the Dig out the root ball as generously as possible and create a new planting hole of the same size at the new location prepare. You should also avoid the pruning normally associated with transplanting if possible. If necessary, shorten a few thin shoots that are no thicker than 2 cm.
