progress report Well so far so good, not only has it not died but it is just about to bloom and has one small cherry growing.

Oh wow so ive really stuffed that up... The pot iesnt feet enough to cover them so I guess I'll have to run with it, is there anything I can do it make it more likely for it to live?

I did as you all said and changed the soil and washed the clay off all the roots, I also noticed that some were really long so I trimmed them down a little. So far everything is good no leaf loss or discolouration, its been about 12 hours so I dont suppose that means I'm in the clear. I also...
