I dug up a Field maple (acer campestre) yamadori in october 2018 and planted it into a ground, very close to our vegetable garden. A decision has been made (not mine ) that we are going to increase an area around our vegetable garden this spring, so this maple has to go away. Do you think it is safe to dig it up once more in march or april and plant it into a big wooden container? I am left with no other option ... Not sure if this kind of intervention will weaken or even kill my tree ... I think the roots were quite strong when i collected the tree in fall and i am not gonna touch them at all, if possible. Another bonus is that field maple seems pretty strong species, but i am still worried about survivability of the tree ... So my question is: how would a medium sized, about 20 - 30 year old deciduous tree react to transplanting/repotting after only 5 or 6 months growing in the ground? Any advice would be appreciated.
