Colin,
I live on the SF Peninsula and I haven't repotted all
my junipers yet. I plan one for a demo at the end of
the month, in fact.
I would cut off the rootbound sides and bottom enough
to get new soil in between the pot and the roots. Or
even do that and pot up for a year.

I made a mistake by not checking the roots of my
shimpaku juniper this
winter. I checked it now, and it seems that it
needed to be repotted. I
would go as far to say it is rootbound, but it could
be in a matter of time.
The rootball is full of healthy, fiberous roots, but
not much soil seems to
be left for another whole year. Its too late to
repot it, but i was
wondering if it would be safe to cut off a small
section of the bottom, and
fill the remaining part of the container with soil,
just so it can last
spring, summer, and fall without going rootbound.
Would doing this hust the
tree, considering its been like summer for the past
week? It seems like
winter seems is over for sure. If i did cut some
roots, and added soil,
would it help the tree last another year without
running into the problems
with being root bound? Any suggestions are much
appreciated. Thanks, Colin
