Hey, everyone.
So, got a bunch of trees earlier this summer from EGW. Brent's instructions were to slip-pot immediately after arrival. Only problem was when that happened, the only soil I had lying around was regular potting soil. It's always damp, has a hard time drying out. I'm really afraid of repotting it yet again this late in the year into better soil. As you can see, something is affecting the leaves.
As I see them, my options are:
1) Plant in the ground now and allow the trunk to develop over the next few years. Space is limited for that, but I could find a place.
2) leave it in the potting soil over the winter (probably in the garage when it gets cold) then either repot in spring or plant in the ground in spring.
Thoughts?
