This is a Burning Bush that we were removing from our yard and I decided to give it a go. This is the tree/bush about a month before I dug it. I did not measure it but I would estimate it to be about 6' tall and 8' across. 05-2014
It was the first of July and warm but what I thought would be about a two hour dig turned into about a 6 hours project. Worried about drying out I missed photos of the tree prior to getting it into the pot but here is a photo after getting it into the tub and doing some reducing. I was concerned about doing more due to the time of the year. 07-2014
The tree survived the winter and although the timing was not perfect I was itching to do something so I uncrated it and washed off most of the old soil as it was too heavy. At the same time I reduced the foliage and did some minor root trimming. A word of advice though, I was wanting to put this into a 18" bowl, width wise I was fine but I lacked enough depth so back in the tub it went. I was concerned about doing to much root trimming due to the hot weather coming. 05-16-2015
