Should I Move Them?

This past May I planted 10 Early Pearls in a location not that far from my house... Only six survived but as the summer came I realized I picked a bad location because the trees around the site grew a lot more than I would ever expected them to.. so now they only get about 4 hrs of direct sunlight on a good day. My question is do you think its worth it to move them now? I did some exploring this weekend and I came across a really good location in the middle of nowhere that I wish I had found a long time ago. The only problem is, it's about a half mile away from my current spot and its through dense woods and across a pretty wide but shallow creek. Has anyone ever had this problem? Did you move them? And were your plants ever able to fully recover this late in the season? And do you think the risk is worth trying? Because the plants are now all about 2-3 feet tall, so it ll be kinda hard to conceal them along the trip through the woods. Anyone have any input?

if they are in a good spot already, then i would just start cutting tree limbs out to give you more light, that is if you can do that with nobody noticing.
