Probably, very hard to know, I suppose now only time will tell. But at least I know this: when I transfered from the big pot to the ground, there were fine white roots close to the border of the pot so the roots kept spreading beyond the original root ball. That is already good news. When it is really compacted they just keep going in circles. I'll come back here in the next yeas to update on it.
