I ordered a "Tansu" from Schleys a couple of weeks ago. It is much different shape than the Tansu I already have. This is about 20" tall, nice tree but I have no idea how I want to shape it. After it came in I talked to Jason and he recommend a 12 or 14 in pot. I ordered the pot from a different vendor, it came in and looked huge to me. Then today I started to move the tree into the pot, this tree is one large root ball mass. It will fill the entire pot if I leave the roots as is. Jason said he had done a cut back on the roots last year. I don't want to cut back too much, I feel the less I mess with the root mass the better chance I have of not killing it in the move. It got dark, so I put it back in the pot it shipped in. Potting is one of the fun task to me, I have to put some thought in this one. I guess this would be treated like a pine...any thoughts on cutting the roots back or leaving them?
