Than ks for the tip it is very interesting ..
I wanted to know before starting as it is teh good season ..
another thing
I just checked the plstic container and is a can of roots
alive nice thin .. but almost no soil left .

I tried to scratch some soil on the surface around the
trunk to see how was the neabary under the surface no way
it is a network of fine roots.. I was planning to repot next
year
I d not want disturbs roots right now.. and probaly will
switch in a bigger pot for the next monts until spring ,but
... in spring I should trim all roots and put for a while
in a flat wooden box...
I am always upset with needle trees ,any tip ?
