Hi, I started a maple and some elm trees from seed; I think they're about 2yrs old. Thanks to your information I have been able to winter them over! :) I'd like to touch base with you and see what is the best way to continue growing them. We aren't able to actually plant them in the ground yet. 1) will the maple be OK in this 3 gal bucket or should I transplant it to a larger container? 2) The elms are doing well, but I feel like they need a bigger container; I think there are about 10 of them in there and I'm not sure what to expect if I do transplant them, in regards to the roots; I don't want to kill any of them. Any other tips you could share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Liz
