I can't figure out why the first response of people to a sick or slow tree is to play with the roots. A person comes to the doctors office not feeling well and the response is immediate open heart surgery, and by an Nurse Aide. The first order of business is to consider whether or not the tree can stand the intense insult of removing roots at just the exact time when all of the resources needed for recovery are in the roots. Trees that are really, really rootbound rise up out of the pot on the increased root mass and are hard to water. Failing that, seek another vector.
