Imperial Masterpiece
This is a first for me but many of the best bonsai growers over here have been repotting pines in Autumn for many years with great success. Up to now I have been repotting in the traditional late spring window. Moving to autumn repotting will take some of the pressure off that short spring repot season.
This one of mine really needed a repot.
The roots have lifted the tree out of the pot at least 1"
I thought I had only put this tree in the pot last year but the roots tell a different story.
There are at least 3 layers of new roots there!!!
Out with the root shears.
Bottom of the root ball sheared.
Then a few centimetres off around the sides
and back into the pot with some fresh mix.
