The tree, not the truck, went in the hole.

I moved an apple that was at least ten years old one time. It was Cox's Orange Pippin on seedling and it filled the back of a pickup truck. I took a circle of roots nearly six feet in diameter. When I got it to it's new home I dug a hole large enough to accommodate the whole root mass, backed the truck up to the hole, and slid it in. 30 years later it's still growing and blooming by our house.
