Did you bare root this one in 2016, or does it just look that way in the photo? Original root ball in the pond basket back filled with bonsai soil?
Originally, it arrived in a broken nursery pot, so it was slipped into the basket and backfilled with my soil. It was never bare rooted but I did work the roots 2 years in a row, so I won't touch them again for several years. I fully realize that I was pushing it but the tree seemed healthy and vigorous enough to handle it.
