Since I grew up in Florida I am really ignorant when it comes to northern deciduous trees. I dug this tree up last year because it was in the way of my new house. When I dug it up I raised it 3” and cut off the roots in that area. I had hoped the dark color would lighten and match the bark. Didn’t happen. My hope was to get it healthy and cut it down to 6” next spring. Not being sure as to the type of tree, I don’t know if it will backbud that low. Please let me know if this tree could be bonsai material. If not, I will plant it out in the front yard. Oh yes, there is a plate in the planter so the roots can’t go deep.
