Collected large yews and large maple
I recently collected some large trees. They were rescued from a future
construction site (actually, machines are alreadly digging). It was a very short notice so no special preparations have been done. Yews (Taxus baccata) have approx. 20cm diameters at the rootbase (not counting the nebari), the japanese maple (Acer palmatum) has 25cm. The rootballs were reduced to 80cm across, depth 30cm. Inside the balls the roots were not disturbed at all. All trees have been severely chopped, no twigs were left, but all the yews have tiny shoots (last years, as far as I can tell), and the maple has (already visible / swelling) red buds on the lower part of the trunk. The trees (except one yew) were not put directly into (training) pots, but rather planted into the ground for another year. As this is the first time I collected such large trees, I'd like to know what are their chances of survival? |
