So one of two of my Hinokis is still in a nursery pot and has only been styled above. I haven't touched the roots or soil. This tree was at our nursery for two years, and who knows how long in growers hands. It's definitely a young tree, I'd be willing to bet its 3-4 years old. I think at this point the roots need to be tended to as I am starting to see some signs that catchy my attention. I'm not necessarily looking to bare root and change the soil just yet; I want more time to develop the trunk and considering putting in ground for a bit, or into a grow box. Can I safely prune the roots back this time of year on Long Island, zone 7B? It's been hot, so I'd definitely wait until the temperature drops to 80F tops.
