Any words of wisdom from my learned friends?

It will depend on a number of things.
If the plant's roots are really grown together then you can treat the forest
as one plant, remove as much soil as possible from the bottom and sides of the
root ball and replant with fresh soil underneath and around the sides,
probably in the same container.
If the plant's roots are less entwined you can take the forest apart and
replant each tree as you did when starting.
Or you may find a combination of the above. Two or three trees so entwined it
would be unsafe to break them apart and others fairly independent.
Or if the forest needs redesign you might add or remove trees.
Needless to say, you will need to have your anchoring wire and drainage
screen ready.
I would be sure to have a suitable pot available unless you are sure you can
go back in the same one.
