Mature Trees Died And Were Planted With Metal Cages Around Root Ball

Question From: L. Ives - Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Q: I purchased two very nice mature trees, about 8' to 10' tall, and they both died after 4-5 years. (They were not purchased from your business.) I cut them down and dig up the stump where I noted the balls had been encased in heavy metal fencing. That didn't go well with my chain saw. I noted the stumps/roots appeared very disfigured and I wonder if this heavy metal fencing interfered with the roots spreading. Do you have any idea? Thank you. Leon Ives Sent from my iPhone

First, Yardener.com is an information service not a nursery - we don't sell plants, trees, or products. It was your job to remove the cages before planting and yes that might have been a factor in the tree's death. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
