Hey all, I repotted my Acer palmatum 'Katsura' today, and I thought I would show you the pics

Pic 1: Before
Pic 2: The new pot
Pic 3: Roots after combing them out, this tree was only put in this pot last year, so that's a lot of root growth!
Pic 4: The tree sitting in the pot
Pic 5: The tree after root pruning

Pic 8 and 9: The tree now, sorry the pics are a little wonky.

What do you guys think? I'll put pics up of it in leaf later on in the year.

Wow, you got a lot of root growth in one year. Amazing. It must be a very happy tree.
