I have a large .... about 4 inch trunk diameter maple in the ground. it was
trunk chopped down from about 16 feet this winter and is sprouting nicely.
I'm thinking about digging it up maybe next spring. I would like to start
ramifying the roots while it it still in the ground this year. getting an
axe and a shovel and making a ring around the tree.. severing as many of
the roots as i can..hopefully starting some new root growth closer to the
trunk. does anyone have any experience/tips with this? after i make the
ring... should i place something in the ground around the tree? steve w
