Ok I know there’s multiple camps here but am looking for views with respect to my situation and weather .
Am from zone 4 where our spring can be completely unpredictable with cold below freezing temps . Am receiving a root bound , pot bound JBP in April and the owner told me that it needs a repot for sure as it hasn’t been repotted in many years . This is field grown JBP and has quite an amazing nibari and quite old a tree .
I have performed summer repot of my mugo pines that take summer repot like champs and no casualties ever . No worry of crazy cold temp after Julyupto September and temps are within 70-80 and amazing for root development .
I few if I do spring repot - I need to protect the tree from cold snaps , provide bottom heat and much more risky .
So am thinking I would do a summer repot during July upto august end after temps come down to 70s and treat it like my mugo rather than a spring repot.
Question to all you experienced JBP or pine guys - any reason why I should still consider spring repot and not summer repot ?
Regards,
Abhishek
