Hasaki: I don't understand what you are getting at. I have offered a method where by the entire root system is replaced over several years. It's true that occassionally you might run into a tree where you could initially remove fifty to severnty-five percent of the original soil and roots but if you don't have a lot of experience doing this kind of thing or know about the tree you are working with you will lose the tree. If you have a better method than what I have presented please feel free to share it.

Aurelius: I have no editor. In the past I have had several people look at it but they all wanted to rewrite the thing.
