Here’s my blue point juniper. The nursery pot is 9 inches deep. In pics below, you can see some surface roots happened, and as I learned today, it had roots emerging from the drain holes.
My question please:
I’d imagine there’s a fair amount of roots in the pot. How would one manage moving this juniper to a more shallow pot? I don’t have the experience, but it seems like going from 9 inches deep to 3 or 4 inch would call for significant root pruning. The nursery pot it 9 inch diameter - I thought I’d move it into a 8 inch round pot when it’s time. The tree is currently 26 inch tall from the soil up (though I didn’t intend on keeping it that way).
Is it common practice to see that type of depth change when repotting the first time or is there some intermediate step I’m missing?
