That is a very good point and I have learned that the hard way as well. I will probably be risking this with one of my Zelkova's though. I can tell the root system isn't that strong because it is still a little loose in the pot, but I'm not happy with the top so I will be chopping it along with doing root work. I still have a feeling it will be fine but if it isn't I know exactly why.

This Larch already has a good root system but there is no need to chop yet. I've heard that larch trunks thicken up fast. I hope this is true because I really can't wait to work on it. Its so hard to be patient when you have a vision in your head.
