Acer Rubrum #2

[Cmd5235]

Like the previous tree, I collected this one over a year ago. Unfortunately, some small mammal chewed the crap out of the back of the trunk, limiting what I can do (and creating the ugliest wound). I'm also using this as a practice tree, but decided to document it. I'm debating throwing it in a big, deep pot and letting it grow for a few years.

Use some cut paste to seal the wound.

I would let recover for a year or two here. Work on starting your branch structure. The trunk is quite large already and you will be getting a lot of long internodes. Itll take a year or two to slow down.
