Post potting, here is the tree as it was collected.



Strong buds. Most needles appear healthy.

Backbudding.

Roots pre-prune.

Post-prune. Large long roots were shortened. Fine roots were kept.

A single layered root. Data sheets mention this as uncommon/limited in Douglas-fir.

Canopy was lightly thinned to open up the interior and balance root removal.



A thin layer of bark was added to nebari-soil surface to ensure adequate moisture/insulation for root recovery. Tree placed in moderate shade for the time being.
