My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

plant or keep in container?

12 years ago

On a whim, I bought a Japanese maple, a tree I've always loved. It is about 3 feet tall. Should I go ahead and plant it in my garden or should I keep it in a container until it gets bigger?

Thank you!
