Is it possible to move oak tree that is few years old about 8 or 9 foot tall
and is about 2" at base? if so, how?


Oak trees should only be moved when they are dormant in the fall & all
their leaves have dropped off. I recommend hiring a landscaping place
to spade it into a different spot if you don't feel comfortable with
the risk of moving it yourself. Other wise just make sure the Oak is
dormant & you have dug far enough that all the roots come with the
tree, since it is so young & has such a small trunk diameter.
