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


Bonsai are kept small from trimming. Root cutting stimulates root and
top growth. If you wanted to keep the tree small by way of the roots you
would keep them very pot bound. Thereby restricting the growth aspect.

You want to see a 2 foot trident maple in spring when the roots have
just been trimmed and it`s being fed nitrogen on a weekly basis. You can
almost see em grow!!!!!
