Continuing the Hack.
Here is the little fella minus about ⅔ of his roots - as mentioned above in the 'Root-Pruning and Repotting' section, I reckoned that the bulk of this trunk/lignotuber was such that I could remove more than half the roots safely. I've given the roots a rinse, and done a little gentle untangling 2 try 2 create the beginnings of a Nebari - though such an impressive trunk flare might not need surface roots. Note that at this stage, I still have not removed any foliage - now that I've had a chance 2 survey the root system, all branches are cut back to the 1st set of leaves.
