| | Salal - UBC Botanical Garden Forums |
 | | My own experience with moving pieces of salal vs. planting container grown stock- move big pieces, cutting back some of the top when moving, or plant largest affordable containers, then be very, very patient. |
 | | I have also dug wild salal, and found the root systems very wide ranging...total opposite to say an azalea that makes a nice compact fibrous root and therefore is easy to move. |
 | | Like Ron, I would look in a sunny area, like a disturbed spot, where they are colonizing new ground...you see rather few baby salals (or most other understory natives) in undisturbed (and shady) forest where everything is pretty much in equilibrium. |
