Sweetgum, 6months after chop.

[humanafterall]

My parents had seeetgum growing in the yard and I took the liberty to chop one down and see what happens and they sent me the results 6 months after chopping a fairly straight stump.


Any tips on getting this out of the ground an into a Anderson flat???
I have little to no knowledge on sweetgum.

Depends on where in the world you live and how urgently you want to move it. Suggest you start by undercutting it with a spade to sever the main taproot and major lateral roots to encourage a more compact root system 12 months before lifting and replanting it.
