My concern is that I'm being forced to pull out of the ground
in a week or
two to make room for new garden plants/trees.

Do you think I can "cut them way, way, way back -- maybe to
that single
trunk", dig a nice large root-ball and stick them into 15
gallon pots for
the remainder of the season?


No.

However, if they're coming out anyway, all you lose is a little
time and effort.
