Hi John
When I acquired this tree as recently collected stock, it had the typical lack of fine feeder roots. Over the years and many repottings, it's developed plenty of fine rootage, and I'll have no trouble putting it in whatever pot I choose.
If you look at the heavy bush of foliage in picture 1, that's indicative of what's below the soil line. I expect to have plenty to cut off when I repot.
I'll photograph the process and link back to this post if possible. As you say, this is educational for those that are new to bonsai.
