So, the triple trunk was put into the ground in the fall, 2019, as it was too raw and was taking up too much bench space. Late last summer, when my move north was solidifying, I took stock of any ground growing trees that should come with me... this one made it by a hair! It lost one of it's trunks probably 2 winters ago, so now it's a double trunk and will require a different planting angle.
Because the layer was performed with 3 trunks in mind, the root spread is now uneven and I'll be doing loads of root grafts to correct it. This one also has some sentimental value to me as I've had it since I lived in my first house in MA, purchased as a future garden tree, it was grown as a garden tree in GA but made the transition to potensiai while I lived there, and now in MI, it's actually in a stoneware bonsai pot for the first time
