When is the best time of the year to transplant mature asparagus?
Thanks

I have read it can be transplanted both in the spring and in the fall. I don't think during the growth season is good. I bought 25 - 2 year old crowns twice and had pretty good luck with them. I planted them in the spring. It seems like the first batch of 25 had 22 living last year, two years later.

We have had great luck letting if go to seed. Collect the berries and plant the following Spring.

I have just wild stuff along a crick. I took some out a few years back and tried to transplant them but never worked. I bought some and followed instructions to a T and never had any luck.

I have buried the red seeds in the fall with no luck also.

They reworked the right away across some of the “wild” patches a couple of springs ago and I rescued them to new ground that spring and they where producing good stems by the next year.

Thanks

Took me a couple tries to get it going. Spousal unit is the one who picks and eats it. Word is you don't harvest any of it for first 2 years......to allow it to get established. Just let it bolt and go to seed. Hard a hard time enforcing that one. Other part I didn't know.......apparently once established, roots go 10 to 15 feet deep. My biggest issue is keeping the weeds down. Their will to live is brutal.
