Default [IBC] Removing Oak Taproots was [IBC] Starting Seeds

brent you wrote

The problem with container oaks is that they want to grow that five foot
tap root in the container. This very often results in a very long spiral or
congested mass right under the root crown. Smaller roots usually do not
grow out of this mess. Sometimes it is interesting, but most of the time it
is unsightly and very difficult to remove or correct.

my question is what is the strategy (next year) to deal with long spiral
tap root that im sure is int he 15 gal pot.?
