Hey all. The folks over at r/treeidentification helped me identify this lovely Hinoki Cypress in the front of our house. Goes without saying that this spot (by the original owners) is going to become problematic, if not already.

Google is telling me these things can get pretty large. Currently it is about 9’ wide and 12-13’ tall.

We would love to preserve this tree and am confident we can find a new spot. Would you recommend we hire professionals to relocate this? We’ve never tackled anything like it but not opposed to learning and putting in the work if not overly complicated.

What sort of space would you ideally like to see from any structure or foliage in a new location? Full sun location OK?

Thanks for any input.

Hey, everyone. This tree (here when we moved in almost 4 years ago) has been growing in height probably a foot/year. It’s clearly outgrowing its location as it overtakes the sidewalk and presses the edge of the garage.

We are in southeastern PA. This side of the house faces northeast so catches some early sun before spending most time in the shade.

Looking for some help identifying so we can begin hunting info on relocation possibilities and difficulty, and also maintenance.

Thanks in advance!
