Seems like quite a nice piece of material. Go ahead and feel free to remove all of the old soil when you repot early this spring. I don't see any harm in doing your trunk chopping and pruning at the same time, as long as you keep root and top reduction roughly in proportion to one another.

I look forward to seeing this tree in the spring.

Best regards,
Carl
