Hi All
We've been offered a red horse chestnut that's in a big black pot for much less then retail. We've bought lots of healthy trees from this guy but nothing this big. It's obvious the tree is pot bound. We're prepared to give it a good home but wonder what the odds are something this big will survive and thrive. I'd guess the tree is 15 tree tall. It has a nice sized trunk and we would have to stake it. Before I throw money away I'd like to hear from anyone with experience. We've successfully transplated many other trees but they weren't in pots. Thanks, Helen
