I had planned to repot this about a week ago but life had other ideas.
Its a field-grown magnolia that was dug up and put in this container probably 6 years ago. Most of the original root mass was left intact in the original field soil with a course bonsai mix underneath and around all edges. Its a very healthy tree and has root growth that has pushed it up out of the pot by at least 3-4 inches.
I am hoping to bareroot it to remove all the remaining field soil, clean up the root mass, and repot it in a smaller milk crate container. Next spring will be a restyle with a hard cut back with at least 1 hard trunk chop.
Is it too far along with pushing spring growth , or will I still be ok?
Thank you for your input.
