Seedling
I am fairly sure it is ok but would love to hear from the experts. I have this old trident, purchased on year ago, it went nuts through summer and had a big prune in autumn to get back some shape. I am eager to bare root the old potting soil from it and pot it into akadama. Right now I am approaching spring, the tree has a handful of buds but not many. nights are about 10 degrees C and days are warm and sunny in the low to mid 20's. Are those little buds in the photo a green light for repotting? Other folks in my area have with complete success (however they are more daring than I). I have never owned or repotted a trident before but I hear they are hard to kill. I plan on a big root reduction to try and get the base of the tree closer to the rim of the pot as right now its on a big mound which I don't like aesthetically.
