Bigleaf Maple Growing in Planter Pot
Hello, About 11 years ago my mom moved from Banks, Oregon to Hillsboro, OR. She brought along a handful of potted plants from Banks and continued to grow them. A year later, she passed away. I then inherited some of these lovely potted plants and have tried my best to nurture them. Interestingly, it appears that the Bigleaf Maple that my mother had originally had on her Banks property had seeded a mini version in one of her pots - I am not educated on whether this is a sucker or an actual tree. Since then, the largest maple has continued to grow with my hydrangea, which was in an entirely different pot, and is spreading tiny saplings (suckers?) into many of my other planter pots on my deck in Beaverton, OR. It's so sweet that it has continued to grow, as it reminds me of my mother often, but I am wondering if it's worth transplanting or trying to stop it growing in the other pots? Should I remove it? Transplant it? It keeps spreading! Our yard is a nice size but I'm not sure if it's big enough to sustain a Maple! And I dont even know if it would grow if moved? Ant help would be wonderful. Thanks, Marcie
