Dig out the largest rootball you can manage, at least (30cm) all round the trunk. Slide thick polythene sheeting under the rootball and it will move (slide easily). Dig a larger hole to replant and replant at exactly the same level as it was before. Sprinkle some fertiliser in the backfill soil. Water well for the first year, especially if its a hot summer. Do it NOW while its dormant. Dont try if the tree is in growth.
