Thanks so much
@River's Edge for this information. Along with your advice I spent a good deal of time reading. watching videos, and talking through the process, especially with the PBM Curator. So here goes…
Both Mountain Hemlock clusters were barked in their containers for the spring. We waited for the buds to start to green up.
The buds just began to green up this week. This was our trigger for the repots.
Here’s the Twins ready to go.

Bark removed, teased back the soil to uncover the root tips on the side. Teased the soil back on the bottom, core and underneath across to the edges.

So our second Mt Hemlock clump done! That’s about the last of the major work for the spring except for two Mugo we will do in a month or two
