My second pine of the day was a gold Scots Pine. The golden color and trunk movement sold me on it. I have tried to read as much as I could on scots pines and still have several questions.
The tree is in a 3 gal nursery pot, the trunk is 2.25” at the base and the foliage is on the small side. I believe this is a dwarf cultivar so hoping the foliage stays nice and small.
I am not really looking to get the trunk much thicker in a hurry so I was going to repot this spring into a shallower clay pot. Should I half bare root for this repotting or just trim off some of the root ball and see how it responds?
Is there any styling work I should consider at this early stage or just focus on working down the roots and building better feeder roots. I would rather give the tree the best chances to thrive than rush it along for what it’s worth.
Any suggestions or resources you have used to help with your Scot’s pines would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Have a great day.
