I have 3 very short maple trees that were planted by the previous owner between the house and the walkway, and I want to move them because I feel that's a poor spot for them, but I would love to transplant them. Is there any chance that they will survive transplant? (You can look at the pictures below to get a feel for how established they are/aren't.) I don't want to pay someone to transplant them if there is zero chance of survival for them, but I really am hoping they will survive, because they are so lacy and beautiful.
Also, what varieties are these? (I assumed they were some sort of Japanese Maple until Frank posted a thread about Korean maples, which I didn't even know existed, so I suppose mine could be any kind of exotic, foreign maple, LoL!.....maybe it's a Chinese maple? Hehehe.)
Here are the pictures (will have to add them in just a minute from my phone, one sec):
(This is just one of the trees, but parts of it are turning it's brilliant fall red color for help in ID'ing it.)
I have two of this greener variety. (I'm trying to remember what it's fall color was last year....orange?....I would have to look into older pictures on my phone to see for sure.
Those last two are for size/level of establishment.
