Is this maple viable and or suggested for training? It was completely repotted in loose loamy soil?just 2 weeks ago. All old soil was removed down to the roots?as it was not right for that tree, PH way high. So the current root ball?is surely still loose and pliable.?

When I first added the photo the app was not showing it and said there was an error. But it looks like every time I dragged it over it actually stayed. Can an admin please help?

Why did you re pot in summer? Easy way to kill it. Don't be surprised if the leaves drop. Of course it is (was) viable to use but it needs a few years growing first.

It was withering away in bad soil and had lost most of it's leaves already. It's looks 100X better and is coming back to life.

Who put the tree in a bad soil and why??

If it was bought from a garden center it was NOT bad soil. It was the very same soil it has been comercially grown in. Nurceries that grow trees in soil that are not good for them do not have any trees to sell and will be out of business soon.

The tree was wiltering because it was kept either too dry in too much sun by the garden center, not due too soil issues.

Your main focus now is to make the tree survive and get back to health, styling can wait a coupple of years.

The tree was purchased from a seller in the back hills of the island of Cebu in the Philippines. The PH was 7.5 and it had chunks of rock, clay (very alkaline) and other inert matter that seemed to hold water too long. Since that type maple likes PH 5.5-6.5 soil that drains well, I studied the right components that maples like and made a new batch. Comprised of compost, vermicast, peat moss, coco coir, sand and carbonized rice hulls.?

After repotting it took off well on it's way to recovery. Every single leaf on that tree is new in the past 2 weeks or so.?In the remote areas of Cebu they use whatever medium they can get. We most always repot plants we buy from there.

Thank you!

I do not think the seller repotted it. It was most likelly imported from a temperate climate region in the very soil it was when you bought it. I still think the soil is the prefered soil from the producer.

The philipines is tropic climate. Tropics means no sub zero winters ever. I do not think it is possible to grow maples without winter dormancy.
