Hello!
I bought a few ABP's for $10 each from a big box store this winter. 30" tall, about 2" trunks at the current soil line. They appear quite healthy, though they are all pretty severely rootbound. I don't want to make any hasty decisions, but also having a tough time finding information re: the best time to perform certain tasks. I live in zone 6, 4 typical seasons, winter is a thing right now.
Part A: should I plan to repot this spring and work on the roots first, let 'em rest for a season or two, THEN do branch selection --OR-- Select branches, de-whorl first, let em rest, then repot????
Part B: Assuming the trees are generally healthy....
1) best time of the year to do structural pruning / branch selection/trunk chops?
2) best time of the year to repot?
I have used the search function without success. Can someone help?
