Moving a tree

[Scottie]

Was asked today if it was possible to relocate a Japanese Maple about 15 years in age? It is a well established tree and the owners are moving and they want to take the tree with them. The owner also asked if it was possible to strike a cutting from it and grow it on, this would be cheaper than taking the whole tree.

 

Any suggestions?

Stem diameter at ground level? I think going by the sp the access for a tree spade could be a problem, I am thinking that this tree is possibly located within a rear garden or small front with limited access for a large spade, post more info if the big spade can't access and I will talk you through the manual method for moving.

Cutting no! graft yes but takes years. Many Japanese acers grown in warmer climes then imported when a saleable size.
