A couple of years ago I planted a native wild plum tree on the west side of the driveway. I mention this because we're about to get the driveway repaved and the retaining walls on both sides of the drive rebuilt - I fear for the little plum tree. I'm debating whether or not to move it. It's not too tall, only about five feet high, and I've read that its roots are shallow, tending to branch out laterally as opposed to sending down a deep taproot. It would've been best to move it before its sap started running and it blossomed and leafed out, while it was still dormant, but those days are gone. I just don't want to kill it, not now, not when it might actually start producing fruit finally. Oh, poor tree, I fret for your future.
