Hell, I don't really even know what I want to do but my trident is swelling and a few buds have already broken and I know it's root bound in some terrible soil.
So here is my dilemma. I've half a mind to take it out of its pot and just plant it in the ground with the soil it already has. Unfortunately, the soil around my place isnt the best for plants. LOL. It's a bit rocky.
My other option is to do a root pruning and complete changing of the soil. The problem with this is that I need it to grow and the best way to do that is in the ground.
Then there's the day to day care of a tree in the ground. We get a lot of drought conditions here in Ga. I wouldn't know when to water it without being able to check it all the time. LOL.
*Caution* Newby freaking out! *Caution*

I think I'm just going to suck it up and plant them. It's what they need long term. Now the question is where do I plant them? Maples like full sun or with maybe some late day shade right?
Ugghhh!!! Anyway. No real need to respond to this thread. It helps to get it all out and see my options in front of me.
I'll update later.
