Looks great! I dig it!
Dang, did a fat bird land on it?

That really looks good! Now for the part that seems to cause the most anguish; repot.

This is such a great tree. I don’t know what it is specifically but I really love this one!
As mentioned the repot would make me very nervous...

I’ve heard digging up rosemary can be very difficult. They naturally layer themselves and I’ve clipped and moved the small layered plants w mixed results. I’ve got a pretty decent sized rosemary growing in my front flower bed that I would like to pot this spring. Any suggestions to increase chances of success?

@Chris Frechette Nice! Try to get as much of the root ball as possible along with the dirt that's compacted around it. Make sure you have several different size pots to chose from; a grow box would be a good choice. Try to remove as little roots as possible from the sides and repot it as low as possible. A soil mixture that's heavy (like 50%) in pine bark is best. Only add soil where needed, don't remove any from the root ball until next repot. Early Spring is the best time. I've done this many times and not lost any. However, most of the time they will sulk for a bit. Keep it in filtered sunlight and give it plenty of water initially. I hope this helps.

Sort of, kind of. The easiest way to take a cutting from a Rosemary is to anchor one of the branches in the ground and it will root. I've had a 100% success rate with this method.I have two fairly large rosemary bushes in my yard. Not ready to start digging around them, so I would like to take some cuttings and try it that way. Any experienced recommendations/pointers in doing that?

As @Vin said that is the easiest way. When I buy them from the nursery branches are always throwing roots down, mid air too. cut those off and plant em.
I've also found that with the use of rooting hormone, Rosemary is a super easy plant to propagate.
I forgot about this thread! I love Rosemary as bonsai, got a few last year and they are a lot of fun to work with!
Plus we can eat them!

i usually just get a branch I pruned and stick to the soil and normally it roots without using anything... just keep it moist and it will root.

Thanks to all the above advice. I'm going to try just cutting off a branch, applying some root hormone and see how it goes after sticking it in some soil.
