Next step is to comb out the rootball with a Root Rake

Bonsai chopsticks can also be helpful to untangle roots.

Next step is to trim the root system. The roots are trimmed to length with a pair of sturdy shears. Because the soil contains small stones and sand, you don't want to use your best shears beneath the soil line. The 8150 Ohkubo Hasami cutters are a sturdy, inexpensive alternative.

Trim every root, even just the tips of the small ones. This encourages branching and growth, which will increase the density of the root system.

For deciduous trees, I will rinse away most all of the existing soil with pressure from a garden hose. (Completely removing the soil from pines can be a risky procedure, but it's perfectly safe for most any healthy deciduous tree)

test fitting the tree into the new pot, you can see that the large root will be a consideration that will limit the possible positions of the tree

There are really just two options. The first is to position the front of the tree along the flat side of the pot. It fits well, but isn't very interesting.

Second option uses the interesting textured areas along the pot as the front. The tree will need to be rotated a little to position the large root, but the result is much more pleasing, with a nice flare from the roots into the soil. It fits more like a pot and less like a shoe!

Add a layer of bonsai soil to the bottom of the new pot and mound it in the center...

Position the tree down and work it into place with a lot of pressure and a little bit of jostling. Get it pressed down very well.

Like that bonsaiTALK apron? It's in the bonsaiTALK CafePress store!

After the tie wires have been secured, the tree is perfectly stable. You can even lift the entire pot by the trunk!
