    Don’t go to Champion Nursery in S.C., off of 707

    yes it would be. Fake reviews -reviews of something you have not experienced- are just as bad as running a company badly.

    Trident maple project start!😎

    The tree will likely never have a better starting point than now. It was aggressively grown out to be tall. It is full of health, energy and juvenile strength.

    A Massive American Beech

    you have me wondering.. Why did you not cover the roots, especially the cut ends? This way they will always remain cut ends instead of them sprouting new roots.

    Look into root pruners too instead of knob cutters. And yes.

    Sad maple!!!

    Do NOT repot now. Just take wire (or, if in a pinch, thin rope. Put a piece of rubber of hose in the branch forks and loop the wire over the fork, under the pot and getly tighten it so the tree cannot fall out. Next spring repot.
