Transplanting a desert shrub
A triple mix is usually one part each of peat moss, compost (can contain composted manure from cattle and or sheep), and loam (can be black loam) Might be easier just to make your own since the composition depends on availability of ingredients! It'll be a lot cheaper for you too!- RonsGarden

Transplanting a desert shrub
What comes to mind is perhaps a triple mix! Mix it well with the some of the existing soil from the hole you dig! The organic matter should give it a kick start!- RonsGarden

Transplanting a desert shrub
Hi Paul! Interesting shrub/tree! From the info you gave and with my experience with shrubby suckering woody plants I found that they are invasive by way of suckering. and probably sending out long subsurface roots! Are you sure you want to deal with a species that will not stay put?- RonsGarden
