Tog is right...dig around it & chop off smaller roots surrounding then let it sit. Then dig down on one side & go under rootball . Water & let this sit awhile - maybe a week (?) Do it in stages so it's not such a shock.
I have a friend in forestry & this is how they dig up & transplant trees... a little at a time. How big is it anyway?
I have canary island date palm in a 30 gal pot & every 2 yrs I re pot & trim a LOT of roots off from being rootbound. It can handle it.
