Thanks for your reply Adair. Can I take your potting class!?No, not that bad. You could have cut much more of the bottom of the root ball off. You could also cut off the “problematic” root. Since you had a lot of fine feeder roots, the tree wouldn’t miss it.
It looks like there were a bunch of long circling roots. I hope you cut them back!
It’s planted on a mound in your growbox. The grow biz is deep, the tree should have been planted deeper, so that there is no mound.
Potting is really difficult to teach over the Internet!
I will say that when I teach the potting class, the students are amazed at how much roots can be removed!
I'm so scared to cut of roots! especially pine roots. Recently repotted a bunch of young pines. Roots of those were very brittle and broke easily.
Really need to take a repotting class next year!
