Spring Update,
Even though it’s ramification was improving I wanted to explore the roots and perhaps lift the entire piece higher in profile. While exploring the condition of the roots the limestone piece broke into pieces so I removed them only to find that the condition of the roots were not that healthy
. I teased the roots out, removing a lot of dead clumps, especially around the edges and decided to replace the tree back onto the slab with lots of fresh soil and let it recover before I try to reduce the size of rootball and place it into a pot down the line.
