Moving a young maple?

17 years ago

I have an autumn blaze maple that I planted last summer and now want to move. It's just too close to the fence and some tall red tips. The tree is about ten feet tall from the ground, but very thin/narrow since it's young. The buds are just starting to come out on it.

Is it possible for me to move this tree? If so, do you have any tips on how to go about moving it without causing any shock/damage?

I'm only planning to move it over about 3 feet and was going to dig the new hole first so the roots are only exposed for just a few minutes. I'm just not sure how far out I will need to dig from the tree when I get ready to pull it up. I don't want to accidentally dig into the roots. Thanks in advance!
