Didn't write this myself, just copied it from the net. Thought it might

I want to transplant the leeks I have grown from seed. They have roots
up
to 6 inches long. Can I trim the roots to a manageable size with out
damaging the leeks.

Yes, I always used to trim both tops and roots of my leek seedlings before
planting out.
