hey B, Clethra acumninata should be as easy to transplant as Clethra alnifolia which is what i have in my back woods, except your clethra likes dryer rockier soil. I would just try moving it now and dig up a good root system with it and water it until it is established . if it doesnt take then try it in the fall. jpm
