I found this sweet gum in my retaining wall as a young seedling and wired some movement into it while in the ground being careful to avoid scaring. After removing the wite I left it to grow another year or 2. This spring without my awareness it was in the yard wasn't pile and I had to rescue it. Placing it in a bucket of rain water until I got around to planting it in a 10 inch bulb pan. I gave it a minor trunk chop and left it to grow the rest of the season. The tree is about 4 years old or so.
