It's all good, if the little guy makes it we can start over and still have a sentimental attachment. The other tree just never wanted to grow, so now we have replaced it with something hopefully more suited to the space it's in.

Ended up pulling out both trees. The maple has a sapling coming up out of the ground off one of the roots that is now potted and seems to be adapting well, so we were able to salvage something. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Not exactly, but that's what happpened. I was in a pot in a very shaded backyard for several years, moved to a very shady front yard for about a year, and then transplanted to a very sunny location for the last 6 years. It was pretty much mistreated by lack of effort it's entire life until we...

My coworker has 12 Japanese maples and was showing me pics of his that he did this to. 3 years later it's 8 ft tall.

The Pistache on the other hand, it's budding and is always a slow starter. That said, we have lived in this house for 8 years (tree was existing) and its pretty scrawny and the trunk is maybe 6' with a few branches reaching up to 12-15ish feet. This is listed as a moderate growth rate tree...

That's what I have been reading, though to be fair the spores on the trunk only appeared this year. Last year it was just the bark splitting, no other signs of issues. :( Nope, not a joke. As stated above the tree was fine last year other than the bark splitting. I also believe it to be...

I assumed as much. As you can see we are in the middle of refinishing that planter in the middle, if it needs to come out, were were hoping to do it now.

Hi all, Hoping I can get some help here, as the "arborists" I have had come out are guessing at best and really only want to cut things down (even though I have told them over the phone what I need help with). I have 2 trees that have splitting bark and what I believe to be Schizophyllum...
