Eastern redbud

Here's my Eastern redbud. This tree is another one I'm not too sure about keeping around. Today I found white mildew on one major root. I had to cut it off. I repositioned the tree and re-potted. Now I wait to see how well the tree does this year. The branches on this tree like to pop out around the base of the trunk. Only once in a while do they appear on the upper part. Last year I had to rub out many many buds down low. The branches you see now were the only ones produced on the upper part last year.
Here's a picture of it in it's new position and another of the wound where the big root was. *ouch*
