After removing about 5 inches of soil (4 at planting last fall, and the other inch this summer), I discovered this very strange circling root. This was a B&B tree but appears to have the same circling issues as a tree grown in a pot (as it most likely was at some point in its life).
I am looking for any suggestions on what I should do. I didn't want to do anything this first growing season, and was thinking that now or possible in the Spring might be a good time to act. I have a few pics with roots that appear to be circling. I marked it up with letters to make it easier to comment on, but I think "B" is the biggest problem and I think that has to go. How likely is this tree to survive and should i remove, leave it alone or dig it up and plant something without these issues?
Thanks for the help!
