How hard can you prune back a Bougys roots and not kill it when root pruning
collected material. (snip) While I have your attention, should I also cut
back hard on the top growth to balance things out for the loss of rootage?

I dug a Bougy from my work place that had been in the ground a few
years I left no foliage, about 2 feet of trunk and put in a 12 wide by 6 deep
bulb pan. It seems to be recovering in my greenhouse, but might go outside
today.
