Mine do fine in soil that hasn't been treated to free it of nematodes. I
planted out two cuttings that had been grown on in 1 gallon pots for a
year. They are such rapid growers once they have got going that I doubt
if an attack would do much other than slow them a little. A newly rooted
cutting might suffer more though.

They've been in for four years and are now as thick as my forearm at the
base of their trunks. Ready for a chop and airlayering off some of the
interesting bits of top growth.

I imagine that they will grow like crazy in your climate.

Wish I'd planted out more! This will be rectified later this year.

Good luck

I doubt that my ground soil is nematode free, is this essential? What
are the
consequences for Trident Maples if there are nematodes, and wouldn't
this
depend on their numbers and type?
