Supposedly the freshly cut roots will burn? How can this possibly be. I use a High N fert right after the repot because High N relative to P has been shown to enhance root activity. This would put all those high P / B1 "transplant" products out of business if the word got out I guess.
Common sense says that after bare rooting and trimming roots the tree would be in a more deficient state than it was before and it would be very important to fertilize at full strength afterwords with high N (most easily flushed).
Myths to debunk here:
1. Fertilizing right after root work or collecting is bad.
2. High P low N eases transplant shock.
I am postulating that just the opposite practice eases the shock.
Off to work now...
