Some of might remember this stump I purchased from Brian, AKA Adam, last year. Most of you won't.
When I got it earlier this year, my excitement got the better of my rational judgment. Went ahead with total bareroot and chopped the bottom flat . I should have waited till next year for the tree to acclimate first but NOPE! Lessened learned!

I don't know how much I took off but in hindsight, looks to be 90% . Buds starting to open.
On top of that. It was placed in a bowl way too small ! This was the "cold room" it was in during the crazy spring shuffle. Soil consists of 1/4" pumice+lava 50/50. I thought the soils might try out too fast so I added a layer of pine bark on top. Not really sure if it was beneficial or not. But hey...
