The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these
words:


Did it. No weevils. But you should see the rootball! If I were
the
acer I
would be complaining of being potbound.

Time to invest in a youngster next year.

Cut back the roots 1/3. No problem Franz. Clean the pot out, tease
some
of the roots a bit and stick her back in.

Presumably only after leaf-fall, if I am to play safe?

yes do it when the plant is dormant ........think Japanese Bonsai thats
how they keep plants small

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
