Jewel, Yes it is totally possible to move that tree but as you note . it takes a big expense. I like listening to gardening and improvement shows on the televsion and it was noted the folks who had bought this house wanted an established tree in their back yard but because of the way properties were set up any tree would have to go up and over the house. Not sure if it was a red maple or whatever but the hole was dug, the tree was found and they appareltnly had a giant shovel , a clam type of thing which snipped down and captured what was needed and days later that same tree was lifted by a crane up and over the house / home . I think they noted the tree would go thru a dormant stage , but what I got is if you have the money anything is possible with building, remodeling and changing ones property. Lee
