Bare-rooting a second Elm

This second Elm was last repotted a year ago into a tiny mame pot. During midsummer it was potted up into a larger mame pot (without disturbing the rootball).

After first removing the soil by hand; this tree had been planted in Akadama soil which has broken down quickly and needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

After washing the roots.

Again the roots are trimmed, this tree is to be repotted into a very shallow pot and the roots below the root pad are pruned particularly hard to produce a shallow rootball.

The two Elms repotted.
