About the most I would consider is removing the top couple inches of soil and some squares around the corners of the rootball. Better to wait for fall. If it is going into a larger container, you could probably cut away circling roots and pot-up, but anything more than that would be a risk. Also the tree is particularly vulnerable if it has produced a lot of soft, new leaves that haven't hardened off yet. That's my experience, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!
