How Do I Move A Christmas Tree To A.new Place In The Garden?

Question

My kid got a tiny shoot from Santa ten years ago, now we have a beautiful 10+ foot tree too near the house. How big will the root be, can I move it to the far end of the garden? Thank you

Moving an established tree in not easy. I would recommend contacting your local extension service, as doing so without proper experience can do damage to, both, the tree and your house.
