Hi Doreen and all,
 
You luck with Peonies may very well have been because of the mycorrhizal fungi you used. But I don't think you can say "definately" in this case.
 
Three years ago I rescued two peonies from a house that was being torn down. I moved them on a hot day about a week before they would bloom, friends said they wouldn't survive the move at all. I cut off the buds and they were planted in full sun and full composted manure. Both bloomed like gangbusters the very next year and have since.
 
We won't talk about the horrific poison ivy I got while moving them.
