Jim Sc Guest Posts: n/a	[IBC] Ficus Repot Now? I'm pretty sure this is the time to repot a ficus (I'm in Zone 5), but I wanted to be sure. Wouldn't pruning the roots now, at a time when the foliage most needs the nutrients and moisture form the roots, put the tree at risk? Why is a ficus different than evergreens and deciduous? Also, would I have to keep the ficus in the shade for a few weeks after root pruning?

Just make sure you reduce the foliage in proportion to the roots, and yes I would give it a bit of shade for a week or 2. Adam
