Severe this taproot, only if you do not see any other way around out, next, take your shovel, and grab below the rock: You want to lift this section and use your large burlap bag to slip beneath the taproot. You can now extract your bonsai. You can use hefty plastic sheets as well to lift you bonsai. Do not forget to cover your tracks. Fill the hole!
