Hello,

I have just moved into a property which has a birch as described above in the rear yard of the property.It is approximately 15 feet high and I am wondering how I would tackle moving it onto a grassland area of the location.

Currently it is in a courtyard which has been tarmaced except for a 1 square metre square in which the tree is growing out from.

The main concern for me is the root system and what would be the best method in tackling digging it out without risking damage to the root system. I presume a fairly substantial removal of the surrounding tarmac area would be in order but I wanted to be sure of this. Any help or assistance from you would be greatly appreciated, if only to point me in the direction of an organisation or body that could give me advise or even assist in the job itself.

I live in Plymouth, Devon.

Thank you.
