We planted this willow tree on our backyard a few years ago. It went from a little 2ft long twig to about 15ft tall in just a few years. It's around 10" diameter at the base, but thins out pretty fast a few feet up the truck of the tree. It's pretty close to our septic system lines, and I'm worried that the roots are going to get into the lines....so I would like to relocate the tree. We dug up around the base of the tree, and it looks like there are 5-6 large roots coming from the base, and that's all I can see. Do willows have a thick and deep root system? How hard are they to move?
What's the safest way to attempt to pull this tree out, and move it? Is it even a job that a homeowner can tackle...or should I just cut it off at the base, and burn it?
Any ideas would be great!!!
