digging up plants in the yard

Hello!

I don't know if this is a crazy idea or not, or if this is the right place to ask.

A good friend has a dracaena marginata in the yard that is kind of crammed into a corner, where it is happy but nobody sees it. (It's pretty awesome, it has 3 trunks that split close to the ground.)

Also, it does not have much space, and if it gets taller, it will be at risk of getting chopped when the tree it's near does.

How hard is it to dig one up? How bad for the plant is it? (I wouldn't do this now, I guess I would wait for June?)

I will try to attach some pics. I measured the trunk down low, it is 4-1/2" circumference. (First photo has neighboring leaves in it, so ignore those. Overall it's about 6 feet tall, on tallest trunk.)

Nuts? Not nuts? Just a little bit?

Also is this the right forum?

Thanks in advance!
