It is Possible to move any tree that is decidious meaning the leaves
fall from them. Best time to do this is in winter when the leaves
have completly come from the tree. This is when all the sap from the
tree goes down into the roots. It sounds like a decent tree 8-9 ft
tall but i have personally done trees that have been over 50years old
so no problem. Make sure that you dig a massive hole around the roots
so not to brake to many roots off dig also down really deeply. Don't
just try to dig in with a fork and give it a wiggle until it comes out
you really wnat to dig out as much soil as pos. I hope this helps try
