 I would not recommend it as large bushes and trees take so long to settle in to a new position, having lost a relatively high proportion of their roots, perhaps also because they are older and less vigorous.

I have enjoyed best results from planting small bushes as nothing much more than single stem twigs. Fruit trees as well are most successful when planted as one year old maidens, which are cheaper to buy and easier to plant.
