Cutting Down a Big Maple

[Smoke]

Is reviving an old thread bad form around here? How’s this maple look these days? How about the Oshio Beni? Thanks!

Btw I love the search function on this board!

I would be interested to see this tree now too

I believe it is dead. Remember read it somewhere in this forum where he had issues with his sprinkler.

Sprinkler did not get this one. This one has always been hand watered.

Tried this pot. Don't like it. Too small and the tree is too high. Have to wait till next year.

that’s a nice looking maple. I agree with your thoughts on the pot but I like the color of it

What color and size are you looking to use next year?

Probably a wood box. The tree needs a ground layer to improve the base. It is easy to see how the tree was allowed to get root bound before up-potting in the nursery containers. I'll have to sell a few trees to afford the correct pot for this tree....or I may just sell it while in the box after the layer has taken.

I have a lot of trees coming up for sale soon.
