[IBC] SV: [IBC] Washing roots
Thank you Michael and Brent for your answers. I think I got the answers
I wanted. Most likely will I try to arrange the nebari without to much
root disturbance and soil removal. Its always good to know your options
before you start. I don´t want to stand all alone in spring with the
tree out of the pot and wonder what to do :-)

But is good to know in a worst case scenario. I´ve
read in some books and magazines that you should NEVER eliminate more
than
1/3 of the soil on a japanese white pine and was wondering
if NEVER was a
too strong word.
Hakan:
The problem with bonsai is that there are always variables. I
infrequently rake out more than 1/3 of the soil, particularly with
older, established trees. Use extreme caution when repotting in the
fall, given the potential to develop root zone damage from the cold
nights.
Cordially,
Michael Persiano
