If your roots are that long you have to reduce their length just as you do
the branches. Going from a 3 gallon pot to a Bonsai pot takes a while. don't
expect to have an instantaneous bonsai. The process can take years. depending
on the tree. I would remove about 1/3 the roots this year. then remove 1/3
more next spring. Just make sure you leave enough fine roots to support the tree
