Repotting a sumo oak
trouble with images
OK. lets try again. Today I repotted this sumo coast oak. It measures about 30 inches around the base and stands about 24 inches above the pot rim. #1 shows the oak rigged and lifted. #2 shows the root out of the pot. #3 shows the roots in a tub hgetting a good soak while I prepare the new pot and mix soil. #4 is the oak in it's new home, a large lotus pot. Mike for some strange reason, the first 3 pix are in reverse order.

Hi b
The soak is some Physan 20 and Miracle-gro. The "milk" is foam on top of the water. The Physan is a disinfectant in case some nasties are in the soil. BTW, I neglected to mention that the trunk is completely hollow. When I first acquired this oak, I found some rot on the trunk, and before I got rid of all the rot, the trunk was hollow with 3 large openings. Mike
