Transplanting shrubs?

can i transplant a lilac bush in the spring when there are leaves on it

Transplanting shrubs?
Yes, Lilacs are quite hardy. The nurseries in NE Illinois dig lilacs in spring up thru the 1st week of May. They start digging lilacs again during the last week of July thru fall. During this cautionary period (May, June, and July), you can transplant if you must, but you are taking a risk.
Reply:You probably could if you took great care not to let it dry out etc but you would be much better and have less risk to shift it when it is dormant.
Reply:Transplant it now.Do not wait untill next month.April is a good month to transplant the bush.Just remember to keep it watered untill it takes root (establishes)
