I have one where the roots are really bad. Twisted and strongly going down. I'd like to recreate the entire nebari. I don't think pruning hard will do as I need the roots up high. Any chance I can regrow as a cutting or airlayer.

Thanks Ken. Didn't see your comment. I am assuming summer will be the ideal time.
