Could not resist this 50 pct off Scots pine at HD.
In looking for nebari, I untangled some of the finer roots which did not make it. So I repotted it. I hope enough survived. I added about 35 pct turface to the existing soil it was in thinking that it will help to keep all the microzoa in place and happy. I covered the surface with sphagnum moss and then a layer of screening to keep birds out. I'll keep it sheltered for the next few weeks and keep it out of the wind for the rest of the winter.
I know it's the wrong time to repot but I can really see the potential in the tree now. Fingers crossed. Any helpful thoughts on over winter care would be appreciated.
