repotting?
When repotting a tree, are you supposed to take all the dirt off that is around the roots or leave a "root ball" of dirt and plant that way?

you may as well change all soil while its all exposed and uprooted
i see some nurseries on less expensive trees...they just change most of the soil but leave the ones around the rootball to save time |

I'm sorry eeiko but this may not be true in all cases. This is usually the go with deciduous but mrjayd hasn't told us what type of tree he is wanting to repot. What tree are you planning to root prune mrjayd? If it is a conifer, its best to speak up before you go ahead! JayC |

For conifers especially pines i leave some of the old soil because it has the naural fungi in it that they need to survive , as for the deciduous trees i still leave a bit of the old soil if it is still good and not broken down because for me it seems like the trees regain strenth better and a little quicker. so maybe its just less stress on the tree leaving some of the old (but not broken down ) soil left
i may be wonrg i havent been oding bonsai for a while but my trees are doing real good .
