Hello all!
Took a risk ordering this field maple online, was only one photo available, but was cheap and my first opportunity to try a bit of a beasty one!
So the trunk is far from ideal, quite an odd shape! Almost quite flat? Hopefully the photos will show this.
Limited movement and taper. Tree does look healthy though, and it's certainly chunky! And there's some lower branches.
It's in a pretty small pot, surface roots visible and small roots coming from the base of the pot (not a huge amount). It's pretty secure in the pot, only a very very slight wobble.
Included lots of photos, hopefully they will give a good idea of what the material is like!
Spoke to a few experienced people via message before it arrived and got some thoughts about possible trunk chop and/or air layering, however this was with only one pretty poor photo to go off.
ANY input appreciated! This year will be just letting it grow (unless anyone spots anything crucial that needs to be done). So thoughts on what to do next year would be amazing!
Thanks in advance
