How hard can you prune back a Bougys roots and not kill it when root pruning collected material. My wife has given me one and it has been in a 5 gallon pot for about 8 years. I know the roots are going to be a mess and I was just curious. It is starting to
break bud now so I figure it is just about time to try and get it into a training box. While I have your attention, should I also cut back hard on the top growth to balance things out for the loss of rootage?
