I’d like to cut this root ball, but I’m afraid I’ll kill the tree. The ball has at least three roots coming out of it, that are about 6 inches in diameter. I cut one of the 6 inch roots. You can see my fist next to it the photo. Can I cut the ball? It’s right up against the trunk. It’s a large older tree. At least 50 years old. Very healthy.4BE48CFE-394C-4E79-A7D8-9F2CDD4C9DBA.jpeg4BE48CFE-394C-4E79-A7D8-9F2CDD4C9DBA.jpeg4F90D2B9-7F77-43B9-BC61-93F1C8B3BDE7.jpeg27BD571A-0AD9-46B6-848F-F85DB0C2C5E2.jpeg42BC7486-7D2D-4A57-9768-0207734CAF5D.jpeg7D5E942E-0F02-4DA8-BB98-AAED9AAFF908.jpeg
