I don't see any problem repotting them at any time now. I have started
repotting everything here and will continue repotting with and without
root pruning for the remainder of the winter. Temperature swings here
are 20 to 65F for the most part. We do get some root growth during the
winter, and I expect you will have enough root activity to prevent any
dying off of cut root ends assuming a well drained mix.

As I have mentioned, my hardy trees spend the winter in an unheated sunporch.
I try to keep the temperature between 30 & 45 F. The trees are all
accessible. Some of them wake up pretty early. I have the following trees which I plan
to repot.
Japanese maple
Cedar of Lebanon
Tsuga canadensis 'Minuta'
Prunus 'Hally Jolivette'
Chaenomeles japonica 'Chojubai'
Crabapple
'Jacqueline Hillier' elm
Miniature Mugo pine
'Broadmoor' juniper.
How soon can I repot them? Can any of them be repotted in January?
Thanks,
Iris
Happy holidays
