I guess we all know you're looking at a Silent Spring if you don't do something constructive, but that means repotting a tree at the exact wrong time of the year. I'd say, put it in the ground as it is, next spring, when it has lots of buds ready to explode into action, dig it up, prune the roots to where they should be, and replant in the ground. In spring, 2006, pot it up into a pot appropriate to the then existing root system. Such are the wages of procrastinators.
