I went the other day to collect some groundcover from a neighbor for our landscaping and spotted some stumps she planned to have ripped out. It turns out they're silverberries that have been growing for nearly 30 years. She wants them gone now, so I'm being forced to dig them up at a less than ideal time. They're all 12" plus nebari stumps, so they're worth collecting even if only half of them survive. I collected three yesterday to get a feel for how difficult they will be to collect (about 10 in total). Turns out they're not too difficult to dig up, but there are few feeder roots since they've been growing in crappy GA red clay. I also don't have any bonsai soil or pumice on hand since I wasn't planning on repotting or collecting anything until spring. So I'm have to use potting soil instead.
Any tips or advice for survival? Would planting in the ground for a year or two be a better idea versus planting them in pots now? This is good material (to me at least), so I want to do all I can to help them make it.
