Hi, all. I have a small NOID maple that has been in its pot for about 12 years. It has been sitting in the back yard in mostly shade for 6 of those years. A couple of weeks ago, my DH and I tried to move it to a new location and found one of the roots had grown out of the drainage hole and into the ground. The root is about an inch thick. Can we just cut this root off and move the plant?
