My advice on your two issues;<br /><br />1). Leave the tree in the pot it is in as it seems big enough to give it plenty of room for growth (although if you have space then in the ground will work even better). I would however lift it in spring either way and work the roots as otherwise you run the risk of bad tangled roots etc which could ruin the nebari and give you a lot of grief, not to mention detrimental to the health of the tree. At this point you can also get it into some decent soil as, I assume, it is field grown and thus the soil round the main rootball is likely not the best for oxygen or water transfer.<br /><br />2). I would not worry about it at all at this time. Given some time the bark will grow out and this should hopefully fade/disappear. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I shall be keeping an eye on this blog and the progress of this, and your other trees :-)<br /><br /><br /><br />MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424791571074313612noreply@blogger.com
