hi joe i moved a small conifer about 2 ft tall 4 weeks ago, the roots were not that long..
i dug about a foot all the way around it digging careful as i wasnt sure how long the roots would be, just dig carefully even using your hands to dig,
then all i did was dug another hole put compost in it then watered it in
& its fine.
we had some conifer trees dug out aswell as we didnt want them when we moved into this property that were about 30ft tall & the roots on them were no longer than about 6ft long
aparantly we got told it depends on what conifers they are as some can have very long roots on them
