@Gibonius That Mikawa went into the ground in October 2020. It came at a pretty decent size, height wise, but still in a ~1gal pot. From Conifer Kingdom in Oregon.
That bed is indeed sort of singular at my property composition wise. It is on the north side of my house and very close in to the house. The back of the house faces ever so slightly NE, so the bed gets a lot of shade.
Added to that, its the only bed at my house that is just.....insanely clay heavy. Maples generally don't like wet feet and I have been dumping gypsum, peat moss, coffee grounds, mulch, you name it into that soil to try to loosen it up.....and its a bit of a project to say the least.
@Mujib I sorta just had some extra pea gravel from my path. I wouldn't do it again. The white rocks in the back ground are holding down the raid chain basin and I have a lava rock sort of channel under that to drain rain chain water away from the house.
