this trident maple is in an 8" diameter by 4" deep pot. it is completely root-bound. it will need mostly just ramification at this point.
is it safe to re-pot it in a 8" diameter, 2 3/4" deep pot? considering i would have to leave some soil on the bottom, it seems that would require removing over 1/3 of the roots in the spring.
I also will be putting it in the ground for the winter, and wonder if I have to be more careful if the cold winter would threaten some of the roots.
thanks.
