Chojubai Root Division

[quietobserver]

Hello all & thanks for reading. My 4 year old quince is nearly rootbound and due for work. Four "trunks" if you'd call them that and
Suckers from the roots. I'm looking to divide and conquer, propagate, etc. Any thoughts?? Tips & or advice? I'm especially curious about time out of the pot, I understand less is better but I'm slow and there's a lot of work to do.

thanks!!!!!

Mine seemed to divide really easily when I dug them last week, so your timing is fine.

Do you guys do your repots, etc. in spring or fall? The only one I killed repotting (non-chojubai) was done in spring, so now I just do quince repots in the fall. Just got a few chojubai in from Don and expect to repot in the fall as well.

Spring for me, once I'm sure it's not gonna snap cold again. I lost a fall repot a couple years ago when a week of winter arrived two months early and then we were back in the 70's again.

Spray frequently with water - should be fine.
