I acquired this spruce and am interested in repotting it this summer. It was growing in a 3 gal. nursery can which was placed in this larger pot and over the years the thick roots have grown down through both pots and out the bottom. I’m thinking that I should try and cut away both pots to expose what is there and then decide how much to cut back and maybe repot into either another large black plastic pot or a deepish grow box. Another possibility is just to cut off at the bottom of the black nursery pot and half bare root from there ...
Or I can just trim off the roots coming out the bottom, so at least it sits flat, and do some shaping, jinning and wiring while it is firmly rooted and repot next year or the year after when it recovers (I don’t need the trunk to aquire more girth).
I’m excited about this tree and want to be careful with it ... how would you proceed?
