Masterpiece
This is my first tree. A quick progression in photos with some minor descriptions. Not much to say about the tree at this point. It is an Acer Negundo or Boxelder Maple. I collected it last year from the front garden. I thought it was a red maple, but then I got the three-leaflets develop and realized that it was something else.
This is October of 2018. The tree was likely in it's first or second year at this point when I collected it. I threw it into a pot with some garden soil. Didn't know what I was doing at the time but it grew ok. I kept it watered and it seemed to react well. It was around this time I started doing some online research into the care.
This is the tree in the winter while dormant.
Repotted this spring as I saw some color return to the tree but it was probably just a little too early. After this point I moved the tree to my unheated attic which remains about 50 degrees:
The roots I cut off...
Repotted and showing the buds swelling shortly after, probably about a week...
Starting to leaf out several days later...
The full shoots extending...
