Acer Homedeponium #6

All grafts were severed. Subject to potential additional grafts next year, the plan is to chop at the red line.

I seem to be a little lost on next steps. The tree is simply too tall as is and the Home Depot roots will never really be nice. Been playing with some ideas and (as of today at least) it looks like an airlayer is in the tree’s future. Right sized, the proposed start of the canopy is actually kind of cool. As always, thoughts are welcome.

One more before spring. I took another pic and then adjusted the angle of the photo to show a potential new planting angle. This would likely be the back of the tree. Perhaps I’m back on track.

Repot, a graft and a chop. Back in the grow box.
