multi trunk

Hello all. Came upon this sweetgum tree walking through the neighborhood. 3.5 Heigh, Triple trunk, main trunk about 2.5 inch diameter. It's growing at the base of a mature maple and I wonder what the roots will be like. I've read late spring early summer is the best time to collect/...
