I picked up this Japanese maple at the growing grounds over a year ago and started working the roots last spring. I realized that it needed a ground layer to have any chance of having a decent root base. As you can see from the photos, I didn’t get quite as much roots as I hoped… thus, the resulting carnage to what had been the existing root system . This one should make it, but you never know?... I will in about 3 weeks. If it grows well, it’ll get screwed to a board next spring and I’ll start doing some route grafts.
