Default yew tree

Can some kind soul tell me if it would be the kiss of death to move our yew
tree now? it is approximately 4 feet tall and healthy, but a new garden
layout means moving it within the next week or two - so any help/advice
would be welcome.
Thanks

Lily

It should be fine but don't delay much longer as the weather will warm up
soon.

do take as big a rootball as possible

Yes, although they are tough as trees go, they do NOT like their roots
disturbed. I would say the chances are you will lose it anyway if you
move it.
