Hi KD, I do not know how to dig up your Celadine..it looks nice though! But I do agree with you, that your plumies do not go dormant, they don't go dormant either in the Phil due to our mostly warm temps especially in the lowlands.
Reading Ken's suggestion how to dig it up..it does make sense, just dig as far and wide you can. You have better growing conditions there.
I do have a question though for you temperature wise..does your area get affected by the Siberian airflow somehow? In the Phil, although we do not really go too cold like what we have here in Cali, there is still the Siberian air flow that goes through around end Nov to early Feb. When this airflow comes along sometimes the lowlands feels the cool mornings of 65F (18.5C) So in the higher elevations to the north, they do get colder to 10C . Maybe if you time your uproot around Nov. to Feb, it will be less stressful for your tree.
