Planted this trident maple a year ago. The trunk is thick enough for me at this point and I'd like to do something with it. I plan on ground layering it to get rid of the ugly surface root.
Have a few questions.
Should I chop it now and start to develop some branches first before layering it?
or
Should I layer it now and let it grow before chopping? I would think this would make the new roots grow faster. And if so should I get rid of more than one leader or just let it go like I have been?
Thanks for any advice. I will move it away from the wall too for more balanced growth...
