Thanks, Rick. It's funny. The soil looks dry in the photo, but it was actually damp, but not soaked. That is a beautiful tree your friend has! Her roots must be very shallow. I have some pots like that, but my roots won't fit in it unless I chop off a lot of them. Do you think I should do a light pruning when I re-pot it? Some of the branches are filled with the dead buds. It also could stand to be even wider, so I was thinking more pruning might help it get really nice this summer..
