Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Bare Armstrong Maple , 1 by earthgal

This is how it looks today. Does this look like it is not going to make it?

My husband says that the tree was covered/wrapped with a tarp, but the roots were bare. The leaves looked healthy, but the root ball is just roots.

We watered it yesterday, the soil is still moist.

I don\'t want to deal with this nursery guy anymore.

If this tree can\'t make it, can we go for an autumn blaze maple or other wide maple varieties? Our lot is narrow( about 30 feet wide) and has two Cleveland Select Pears on either ends. The main reason we went ahead with this nursery is that they carry Armstrong Maple where as other reputed nurseries do not. Are there any good maple varieties that can grow in this space?
