bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - New Chinese Elm, Should I Repot?

Hi Chris, assuming your in N.Y. and also assuming you received the tree recently I would give it time to become acclimated to its new enviroment and get over the shock of being in a box for several days before doing anything. I would give it two weeks to a month to acclimate so that you are sure it is happy and healthy. Sometimes a new enviroment will somewhat weaken a tree as it adapts to the new climate. If you've had the tree a while and it is doing well it should be ok to repot now.
