I have some conifers which have outgrown a rockery, they are 8-9' tall(after 9 years). Is it likely they would survive moving, or should I accept that they will have to go?
 
Conifers often do not take kindly to being moved. I guess you'll have to guage whether or not you think it is worth it.

Agreed, it's very unlikley that a conifer of this sort of size will transplant, but, you can always try. Make sure they are well watered for a few days before you start, have the new hole ready dug out for the oversized rootball, and try not to damage any of the roots as you lift it.

Good luck!
 
whatif I was to cut them in half, would they just look weird?
