Masterpiece
Hello everybody!
In view of our club's oncoming workshop with guest artist Peter Warren, I have bought a taxus as educational/demonstration material (branches selection & placement, height reduction, change of angle etc). This is my first attempt with this species.
As you suspect the soil is compacted organic material and the prospective good roots are hiding underneath....
The workshop is scheduled at the beginning of April and consequently the first big interventions on the tree.
So, I need your advice:
Do you think it is safe for the tree to undergo some minor root work and repotting in a decent substrate at present or perhaps some time after the workshop?
Or should I wait until the next season taking great care regarding the humidity in the current soil?
Thank you very much in advance!
