Dont "think about talking" about the tree with the owner...DO talk to the property owners. Then if its a go....I would...

If at all possible, try leaving it there for now, clean it up while its in the ground. If you see growth during the season, then collecting it later would help it immensely.

Thing is, if it is unhealthy now, you are going to expedite it's untimely death. And you are out a 5 gallon mugo. (if the deal is struck with the owner).

Chances are, the mugo will be there for awhile. Watch it, see if it is healthy. If it has been run over, then perhaps only the dead areas is all you have to worry about.

A picture speaks volumes here when asking advice, so if ya could get a few and post them it would help determine the best route. But ask the owners first.....why waste time and film if you cant remove the plant.
