Hey all,

Not sure if I've posted this tree here or not, so I will go ahead and post it. It is a major work in progress. While I am no where near done with it, I just thought I would post it and show what I've done to it so far. Here t was before the work:

The buds showed me how well the tree was growing (this tree was recovering from a chop a month before), so I figured I would go ahead and remove those horrible, disgusting roots. Here are the pictures from that removal:

Rootball after:

Here it is potted up and growing:

What do you think of the drastic lean this tree takes? Keep it or chop it? Comments always welcome.

Zone is messed up

I'm not really in Zone 10, more like 7a VA. Not sure why that happened....
