March 28, 2021: I collected this in central Pennsylvania. Many more small red maple trees on the property are similar to this one, but it was chosen for its low movement and flared roots. The tree was approximately 12-15' tall originally.
March 29: 2021: This was kept damp in a garbage bag until being repotted into an old plastic file box. The substrate used is equal parts pumice, DE, and fir bark. 4 large and relatively radial roots were found. Very few fine roots were left. The chop was re-cut lower and sealed with cut paste. In hindsight, both the roots and the trunk could have been chopped harder.
May 01, 2021: Buds emerging. Some sprouting from undesirable locations near the base have been rubbed off.
