| I have never moved a large conifer but I would assume that the general rules would apply to anything. Just don't do it in summer. Autumn would probably be best, but do it now if you need to. Make sure it is kept watered properly for a while before you dig it up. If it stressed, there is no hope of success. I would buy a pot bigger than the original one (the bigger the better, as long as you can move it). Dig it out with the most amount of soil that you can, and as big a root ball as you can and pot it up with some decent potting mix. Water it with seasol (helps root recovery) to help it settle in. there will be instructions on the bottle. I can't give you any guarantees, but I do think it's worth a try. After all, if you don't try, you won't have it anyway. Good luck!!! Cheers,
