Greetings nuts,
Just picked up this little guy yesterday, it was field grown and harvested this year. Originally for sale as bareroot stock but I wasn't able to get to it until now, so they shoehorned it into a 16 inch square Anderson flat with some very organic looking soil only 2-3 days ago. Instinct tells me to get it into a larger container with some more open medium, however not having dealt with one of these before not sure. Also do the leaves look normal for this species, they seem kind of wilted?
The eventual plan(after recovery and establishment) is to create the appearance of an old growth big leaf maple. For those of you outside of the great PNW think multi trunk oak tree form but more upright and with deadwood.
So any thoughts, advice are warmly welcomed
Mike
