Re: moving Japanese Maple?

Why not? It would have been better if you had root pruned it last
spring, but it is worth the try. Prepare the new location, dig as
big a root ball as you can handle, take the opportunity to prune
and enhance the shape, plant it at the same depth as now, water it
in well and give it a good soaking once a week until it gets
established.
