What can you lose by trying? The tree is doomed to the trash pile so try.
Cut back some of the foliage if possible.
Put in soil appropiate....no idea what is good in Austria....need to ask a
local...here I work use my bonsai soil
Needs a humid environment after transplant....a misting system is ideal.
Good luck...I am sure you will get lots of hints from others.

Mission imp... Birch - 2005/05/24 12:50
Yesterday I stumbled over a Birch (white bark) growing out between a
pavement and wall with a nice thick 3 inch trunk. At the same time I saw the
gardners clearing the area and asked whether they are going to get rid of
the Brich and they said that it will be gone by tomorrow evening! I searched
for the person in charge and got the go-ahead to try and salvage the Birch
tonight after work....

Q1: Is it too late in the growing season for it to survive this?
Q2: Any tips what to do directly after salvaging? Bonsai soil okay?
