I have a copper coloured Acer about 7 years old. I have kept it fairly low in height by pruning each year. I would now like to move it where it can spread and grow higher. Firstly can it be moved, secondly how do I do it, and lastly what time of the year should I do it! Thank you all you garden geniuses out there! x

in addition to Woody's info it's prudent to maintain a watering program throughout it's 1st year of transplant during hot weather to make sure the roots dont dryout before they get properly established.

Wait till Autumn,and after all the leaves have dropped,it will be fine to transplant,water well after,but don't drown it .
Dig around,about 18" so you get as much of the rootball as possible.Jim
