From Ground: Start by giving the cornelian cherry plant a good water to moisten the soil. Then, use your shovel or spade to dig a generous circle around the root ball, deep enough to encompass the majority of the root system. Work your tool gently under the plant to lift it out from the ground. The root ball should come out intact.
From Pot: Water the cornelian cherry thoroughly. Turn the pot sideways, hold the plant close to soil level and gently tap the bottom of the pot to loosen it. Pull out the plant and root ball with care.
From Seedling Tray: Water the cornelian cherry seedlings. To remove the seedling from the tray, push up from the bottom. Hold the seedling by a leaf, not by the stem, and gently remove it. Avoid damaging the root system.
