Sugar Maple in Blairstown, NJ

Tree wants to grow and be healthy. It is living in slightly cramped quarters for its size (see picture below).  I suspect that not only is the tree growing in limited space but that it also has a rock layer below to limit root development. This space was fine when the tree was small. But as the tree grew bigger, the space was more limiting.  I had to balance the tree out to where it lives so it can maximize its growth potential in the limited space The tree can survive in this area.

I had to increase circulation and get more fluids into the intercellular spaces of the buds. So as the cells begin to swell they are readily able to take up fluids. I also had to work with the healthy cells in the buds so they would begin to divide rapidly at the appropriate time. The idea is to have healthy developing buds. Healthy growing buds will also help drive good circulation of fluids into the buds. This is a positive feedback loop.

In addition, I worked with the roots so they would put on additional root hairs for uptake of water and nutrients.

These steps should all help the tree with it's goals to grow and be healthy.
