We have a beautiful and healthy Bay Laurel tree about 7 feet tall. It's been in the same 22" diameter concrete container for well over six years. Surely it is root bound by now?
So why does it look so healthy? Yes, I keep it well hydrated, feed it often with vermicompost tea and give it a shot of Miracle Grow once a year.
I am afraid to repot it. It is way too heavy for me to handle. Large pots are hard to find, not to mention pricey. And the tree looks so healthy!
Is it possible the species tolerates being root bound?
What do you know?
