Thank you all. I agree that another chop would severely weaken the tree. I will fill in around the rootball with Oil-Dri and keep it mulched in the greenhouse over the winter. Thanks everyone.
I can't see the picture you posted of the fertilizer you plan to use, but it sounds like from your similar thread on IBC that you are using Bio Gold?? Unless you're very wealthy, not sure I'd be using premium fertilizers on something like this.
Good point. In addition to being expensive and in short supply Bio-Gold isn't going to really give this plant the "oomph" it needs. I'd switch to straight, full strength Miracle-Gro. You'll get stronger results. Bio-Gold is great--for bonsai, not so much for trees in development...
I don't think thats Bio gold. I used bio gold for years and it always came in foil bags. The bag was always labled for US distribution and was always printed in English. I don't see it imported any longer so I can't get it out here.
The stuff in the cello bag from Japan is OK being not much better than koi food, which incidently make a fairly good fertilizer, and is cheap in bulk.
Economically stay away from Japanese fertilizer it is just too expensive for what you get. Use this stuff in the plastic jug and you will see results in 30 days and never look back. I buy it at Sams Club and it is pretty inexpensive that way. Staggering results!
...girls first and it won't happen when you're making fertilizer cakes.

BTW, your priories are backwards for a recent grad...girls first and it won't happen when you're making fertilizer cakes.

Ryan:
Really bad timing for doing such a major chop, but hopefully it will pull through. I'd leave it alone for now, as anything else may do it in. Wondering why you have it in a greenhouse this time of year though? Is the temp in there staying low enough and do you get good air circulation?
I just figured "why not?" It seems to be healing well though, so if it's not broke, don't fix it
