That’s a great size to move and leaves in bud. Dig as big a root ball as possible. Good luck. Good advice above about fertilizing and care.
Anyone into gardening here?

Awesome thanks! Was hoping to dig it up and take it on the weekend (Sunday) but may just have to bite the bullet and take it tonight.
Let’s just hope no mothereffer cuts these branches same as my other tree at the cottage.
Forgot to add: Put a mark on the tree in relation to how it faces the sun so you can put it in the same direction when you plant it.
Wow...never knew something like that would have mattered...
The attached file which I put together in a past life has a bunch of common turf weeds.
Page 14 can help you better identify if it is crabgrass.
Just so I have this right... You are digging up a neighbours tree and planting it at the cottage, but you don't know what type of tree it is?
What type of grass seed did you put down and where did you get it?
If you have never done a soil sedimentation test, that's a cool thing to show your young kids.
Something like the attached pdf, but I prefer to wait longer than 24 hours for the clay to settle, since those particles are so fine and flat they can take several days to settle. Then it can help you know if triple mix is what you need or if you could be better served with something else.
It's because neither of us know the English name for it...Linden (?) or something along those lines.Just so I have this right... You are digging up a neighbours tree and planting it at the cottage, but you don't know what type of tree it is?
Nice - there's some pretty sweet Lindens. So do you know the botanical (Latin) name for it then?
Thanks for the teaching. I pulled 8/16 today (and every other day) and have clover which I leave.
Anytime. It's amazing how much of this stuff I've forgotten until I read it again.
Didn't the neighbour say it was a money tree? He just wasn't sure what currency it bloomed with.Just so I have this right... You are digging up a neighbours tree and planting it at the cottage, but you don't know what type of tree it is?
Ready for transport.
Do you have some burlap or similar to squeeze the canopy a bit so it doesn't flap? Definitely take backroads not the highway
I’ll take the back roads. Will pass by your place in a bit.
Calming kid now as she’s sad daddy’s leaving (or because she didn’t get ice cream).
Wrap it if you can. That wind is going to do lots of damage to it. It looks a lot bigger in the truck. Good luck.
Thanks. It actually looks like page 13, Annual Bluegrass. It is not annual however since it started in a few spots a couple of years ago and has spread to numerous circles so far. Do I have to dig it out or can I carefully use Roundup?
Definitely wrap that. Even at backroad speeds. Plastic is fine for the short time it'll be on it.
I have not but thanks for that cool info, I'll give it a try this weekend with the kiddos. I just asked our local garden supply store what the recommended for our area (they know our area and soil type as we're very sandy (basically beach).
What I put down last week is now coming up pretty well in most areas with new grass. Temps at night have mostly been cool but this weekend will help. If this Springs grass results are good I'll repeat it in the back yard this Fall (and overseed the rest).
