I've got an Acer ceriferum (or Acer robustum depending on your religion)

Is is better to repot now, so that new root growth has a chance to take
place over winter, or leave it in the existing pot until I can bung it
in?

It will make very little root growth between now and March so I would
put it in a Aheltered place and leave it till planting out, then "tease
out" the roots before "bunging it in"!
Good luck


Hi Pam,

If all goes well it will make some roots over the next month, at least I
hope so! The understock seems very vigorous which is a good thing since
ceriferum is a very fast grower.

I do plan on keeping it inside in a cold (but relatively dry) space.

Thanks,
