I have a small Japanese Aralia (3' x 2') I wish to move to a new spot. When would be the best time to move it here in 7B? Anything I should be aware of? Other tips?

When the leaves are off.

Umm. That's an evergreen.

Instead, during the fall -- at the very least, during much cooler weather than we now have.

Another excellent argument for using botanical names :-) Japanese aralia = Fatsia japonica.

I still say fall.

Best time would be fall / winter.

That said - for the size you have, most of the root system could be balled and saved and moved currently, provided you supply needed irrigation to keep it moist.
