Oh, that blood sugar crash sounds scary! Sorry that happened when you were out. :( They can be kind of inexplicable if they don’t happen to you often, or ever. It’s a big adrenaline shock to the body, so go easy on yourself tonight and take care.

In reply to Carl. Ah, right! Thanks, Carl, I hadn't thought of the transplanting possibility. That's likely what happened; it was pretty much a root ball. Having only lived here for a year and a bit, I have no idea when it would've been transplanted. Eerie, indeed.

Whoa, that’s intense and sort of eerie.
I had one of those blood sugar crashes on the T once, it was awful. Otherwise, I never get them.

I suspect the tree had been transplanted into that spot not very many years ago, perhaps to replace an older tree? It probably had a small root ball for transplantation that hadn’t had very long to grow outwards – otherwise, you’re right, it should have grown out as far as the diameter of the branches.
