I dug this JM from a family member's yard last night. Easy digging but found that the tree was set upon irrigation lines and it had few feeder roots and the larger roots are feet long and about the size of your ring finger. I tried a maple before and it did not survive I believe because of the lack of roots compared to the amount of foliage. I dug this last night and got it into the largest container that I have. I used a soil mixture and mulch chips to create a loose easily draining soil. My questions are should I remove some of the foliage back to a minimum amount to compensate for the lack of roots or should I just do a low chop? Initally I was wanting to try a few air layers before a chop but of course the ultimate goal is to save and use the trunk. What would you suggest?
