BigBill said:You might have another possibility. If they are multi trunked beautiful specimens perhaps you could donate them to a local nursery. They often get jobs where these plants might be just what a client needs to put up a " living fence" or barrier on their property. It might be worth a landscaper or nurserymans time to come in with the appropriate equipment to dig them out and transplant them.
Rather then just cutting them down it might be worth a shot. Just don't expect any money in return or replacement plants. It will cost them time and effort to remove them.

I'll definitely look into this, thank you! We really don't have room for them anywhere in our yard, we thought about transplanting them only because it seems cruel to just cut down healthy trees..but we never considered donating them to a local nursery. Great idea!
