Answer #1 Â· Gardenality.com's Answer Â· Sounds like a fairly large crape myrtle tree. Crape Myrtle do transplant well. The larger the tree, the more important it will be to dig as large a root ball as possible, in order to keep as many roots intact as possible. Timing is important. You want to transplant crape myrtle while the tree is dormant, preferably during the late winter. It's March now, and if you're in Zone 7b the tree should still be dormant so you could go ahead and relocate it now. Have the hole in the new location pre-dug so you can quickly transplant it.
