Wire Basket
Is it normal to plant a tree with a wire basket surrounding the root ball?
I had a maple tree that was about 5 years old in my front yard that died, so I dug it out to replace it and found the roots wrapped with metal wire. I can't imagine that being normal and think it may even have caused the tree to die, but I don't know much about trees or plants. Is this normal or totally inexcusable?
Many nurseries use a wire basket to keep the root ball intact. I have read many theories about leaving the wire basket on the root ball and the roots will just grow around the wire. I personally do not leave the wire on the root ball when I plant a tree. I believe it can stunt the growth of the tree and maybe even kill the tree in time. I can't say for sure what killed your maple tree but that sure could have been the culprit.
