Have you done summer repots before, or is this a one time operation due to the DE dryspots? Also do you know why you have these dryspots, since I know you've used it as soil for at least a few seasons?

This is the first time I've repotted d's in summer, and I feel much more confident with it than in spring.
I had planned on these repots, the dry spot was a result of part the gallball, and part too thick of a "mossed tight" area above. "Mossed tight" being a hard to scrape through mix of algae, moss, black, and crust.
A dunk soaking could have remedied that dry spot.
Which, in baskets of any kind, I'm finding mandatory.
I fully intend to Repot the day after the first full moon after the solstice till things die.... But I don't reckon they will. So this will be forever.
The Polish Water Bottle full of Amur seedlings I collected about a week before are pushing new growth too. These were jammed into the bottle with some water, left in there overnight, and planted the next morning, after cutting the bottle in half.
Why do think "tropicals" are ok with this process and not, "nontropicals"?
A root is a root is a root......

I was just outside contemplating the fact that we say repotting tropicals while they are actively growing is best.
What is it that tells temperate trees there is a better time?
Stupid human bullshit.
Anyway... yesterday I found these, new roots, which I guess are a shade different than the above quoted roots!
Love Pink!
C'mon with this BS!

Why is there that mass of fine roots above the soil?

It's kind of a mass of moss and roots that was used to protect the trunk from the tie wire.

Nekkid One, Nekkid them all. This wasn't infested as bad as my Pole to Dos elm, but it had an ant, so defoil it goes, with a more severe pruning.

Plan to layer off the braid?

Yes, waiting for the base to tell me where, and the top to fuse a little more. It's looking more promising than I thought it would on the beginning.
