that's a lot of serious pushing out.

I would have thought if you just take it out of the pot without
disturbing the root ball you would find the culprit. Funny one though.

I agree, you need to take it out of it's pot and see what is causing the
problem. Be careful though, do it in a bucket, I heard of a case of
something nasty lurking in a pot.
