of the conifer, Make a vertical slit with a spade all the way round the conifer, about 18" from the trunk. Carefully lever the tree out, keeping the rootball intact.
Replant in the new location immediatly and water well.
If the conifer is quite tall, it is a good idea to stake it for the first year until it regrows anchoring new roots.
Water the transplanted tree during the first spring and summer, during dry spells.
