Hello Friends,
I live in London and have spotted a nice field maple with nice ramifications and trunk three inches in diameter.
Due to certain limitations on digging, I can only lever it off and thus likely that the thick roots will just snap off. I tried bending the trunk last week and could hear snapping of roots. What are the chances of survival of plant if the plant does not come off with lots of roots.
Thanks
