New Japanese Maple damaged while planting - repair advice needed
All:
After carefully choosing a very nice 5ft Japenese maple and taking delivery of it, our landscaper slightly damaged the tree while moving it from the pot into the ground. Where a two branch fork exists, the tree split 1-2 inches right down the middle of the fork. The landscaper used duct tape to pull the split back together and told us the tree should heal in a few weeks. If this repair does not work, the tree will be lost as the two forked brances that I'm describing are two of three main growths from the tunk. Is this the right way to repair the split? Is there anything else I should consider? Thanks, Charlie (Boston, MA) P.S. The reason I ask is because our landscaper was less than honest that he did the damage, claiming the split was there when he went to plant it. I don't want to compound his mistake by permanently damaging our new tree. |
