Acer Palmatum fixing roots 02 07 24

It was not the tree pot combo that needed work. It was the roots and the placement in the pot. My first goal was to reduce to root ball to fit into a shallower pot. that means i needed to really get at the many tap roots that need to be reduced or removed. When that was achieved i then removed the root that was too big in favor of promoting much smaller fibrous roots. Get Your Zen On!

Good work removing that gnarly circling root. Best wishes on the continued development of your maple!
