Hi

I'm thinking of moving a conifer (I think its a leylandi) from its present
position to one a few yards away (there's a couple of good reasons for
this); it's about 16ft high, 6ft broad.

Do those sizes give an indication of the root spread? How difficult is it
to
do this? What should I bear in mind? Am I mad?

Yes. Why move a 16 ft by 6 ft weed around rather than killing it off?
