Thank you both for the good words. I do not plan on doing anything to this guy until I know he has made it. I'm just trying to do my 'homework' and get the facts straight.

At this time I plan on overwintering him with my other trees in the garage. But I'm hoping to find out certain things, to be more specific:
1- how well do B.Fir do as a collected tree?
2- do they require 1, 2 or 3 years to recover from collecting?
3- when working on them, do they have problems with their roots being reduced?
4- are they a re-pot in spring tree or (as Vance Wood has told us about certain pines) a re-pot in the heat of summer tree?

I was not planning on collecting a B.Fir but ... well its a long story.
