In the last two years this tree has had massive amounts of root work done to it. In fact this recent shot today shows one of the scars on the front of the trunk at the base where one of the large roots was taken off. Two more were also removed during that time. This year another large root was taken off and sealed. The real nebari is just under the surface of the soil. Two of the scars are completely healed, though the large scar will take some years to go.
Next year will be a real turning point in the repot. The tree will be lifted an additional 1/2 inch to expose the rootage. It should be a much better tree. I really liked the tree before I cut the roots as it showed quite a flare before removal of those large roots. The problem was that they were starting to look like a claw and that would be bad news.
