Default Monkey Puzzle Tree advice needed

Well, we've got one - it's planted in a most unlikely place and looks
completely wrong there. About five feet tall, it has grown very slowly
over the two years we've been here (Surrey, heavy clay), and frankly,
it's for the chop. D'you reckon we could sell it then? How big a root
structure does a Monkey Puzzle have?

I moved one that was about the same size, and it was a bugger to get out -
very strong narrow roots going down I don't know how far. I reckon it lost
a fair bit of root in the move, but is none the worse for it - despite the
books saying they can't stand root disturbance!
