It took more than 2 hours to tear that root ball apart. I had to run a knive all the way around the pot to loosen the roots from the pot, the roots had attached themselves to the unglazed ceramic on the inside. I couldn't manage to loosen all of the old dirt from the root ball I but I managed to get a good majority of the roots free and I hope that the tree will be a lot more vigorous now.

The smell was somewhat unpleasant too, not surprising considering the species name, but I can tell this tree will be something special in time
