dividing an acer?

Could you make two from one acer by dividing the root. What determines if you can do this with a plant.

It is a small one, think acer palamatum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_palmatum

I have never heard of a way of dividing a tree......herbaceous perennials maybe but not trees ! I'll be interested to see what replies you get.

Not possible only herbaceous plants can be divided,
I know you can get off sets from bulbs and divided some shrubs but not trees because of their growth habit, too lazy to explain google what is a tree. for more info

i did this by accident with a birch seedling. i tried to lift it (it was in the wrong place), and managed to tear the rootball in half. i now have two birches. must remember to take a photo of them later to post here.
