About 30 years ago I remember seeing a display of a massive wooden Victorian "cart" for moving seriously mature trees at Kew. The process was to initialy dig around half the tree, install half a box structure & fill with enriched soil. A year later they would dig out the other half, install the rest of the box. Then bring the open end of the "cart" around the tree & winch the tree to just clear the ground.
