Default [IBC] Hemlock repot ?

and this little pig cried re-re-re all the way home.

I don't know how that extra re got in my previous post I guess I should
Re-Re-Read my post before I hit send.

Should Re-pot be hyphenated?

Keep an eye out for the spelling police for me. Let me know if they are
coming so I can hide behind the fridge.

Back to lurking

Hey folks...I am considering repotting a collected hemlock next

weekend...I
think it is a little early for me , the buds haven't really

started to swell
yet...but Im not planning any root work other than old soil

removal. I'ts
been recovering in it's current pot for 3 years , and I would

lke to get a
look at the roots and put it into some better soil. I wasn't

sure if maybe it
might not be good for the tree to do it early ?...we're s'posed

to have
warmer temps all week ( 40's anyway ! ) Next saturday I'm

doing a workshop
and thought it would be ideal to have other more experienced

eyes on it
while I repot. Any thoughts ?...good bad ? thanks so

much....BobO zone

My first thought: If you think it's "a little early" then it
probably is.

Given the weather we've had this winter, I'd bet you have more
cold weather after your "warmer" temps next week.

You cannot Un-kill a tree; I think I'd assume that if the needles
haven't fallen off the roots are fine and I (you) should wait.
