I dig mine up and replant on a burn pile.

Yes, they and hedge apples make great fence lines.
Just don't plant them next to an fruit bearing trees.

They can do a lot of damage through proliferation and the way they bind up water so I take them out and choose to plant other choices.

They will transplant fine. I did quite a few 40 years ago. The ones I moved took off after replanting.
For some reason I had a significant mortality rate. Some died at 10 years and beyond. They spawned offspring all over the woods though. I pretty much started digging the offspring up and burning them.
I have 3 of my originals that are monsters. Wife and I have been working on cleaning out from under them for 3 days.

Haha! I guess you don't like cedar trees?

I expect they have quite a tap root, judging from little sprouts that I've pulled up. Tougher to transplant ones with tap roots.
They grow naturally here in central Va. Got lots of them along with wild cherry and other stuff. Strangely enough, we have no oak on our side of the ridge. There's plenty on the other side.
