I have 1 year old seedlings (Or a little younger). Is it ok to repot them now or should I wait until spring? (I want to make a clump style/fused trunk) planting with them.
Yes, you can repot 1 year old seedlings now. I repotted a bunch of 1 year old pomegranates last summer and they made it through just fine. I was growing mine from seed in an akadama, pumice, lava mix and I saw they had nice root systems with plenty of feeder roots when I repotted them. It looks like you're growing yours in a free-draining inorganic substrate (unless the pumice I see in the photo is just a top dressing fooling my eyes). As far as arranging in a clump/fused trunk planting goes, I have no advice to offer there as I haven't attempted that. Sounds like a good idea though. Maybe I will try that with some of my pomegranates at the next repotting.I have 1 year old seedlings (Or a little younger). Is it ok to repot them now or should I wait until spring?

They are in around 70% 50/50 sifted perlite and oil dry, and around 30% potting soil. I will check out the roots and see what I got goin on below.Yes, you can repot 1 year old seedlings now.

Very nice material to play with.Yes this was my idea, i heard 1 year old seedlings were best to use for fused trunks.

What is your view on using raffia to wrap around the trunks?Very nice material to play with.
Yes, you can repot them at this time. To fuse their trunk together, you may use the dental floss to wrap around from the base of the trunks up to wherever you want to stop. That was what I planned to do in the past, but I did not have time to do that. It is very fun project. Good luck to you.
p/s: after repot, let them be in the shade until the young leaves coming out. Please update your post. Thanks in advance.
