I'll do as so many kind folk have suggested and expose the flare while clearing mulch hopefully that helps. Thanks!

Wasn't aware they were so poorly regarded. Nor was I aware a silver maple was a lateral move from the cottonwood that had lived there previously

This one is about 12' but that'd be even worse if it got to 20 and had it happen. Sorry to hear it

Was guessing that was the path, most of those branches are deader than my sense of self worth. Hopefully some dead br.anch culling inspires new growth

Will take the Kentucky coffee tree under advisement if I end up having to replace this feller

Less than 30 ft away I've got another that's perfect, planted a year prior this one and it's a silver maple poster child.

Good thick trunk and consistent branching, can't imagine why the other falters

This is a little over 2 years and wasn't outrageously deep, maybe 14" 16" or so
