Re: winter repotting
It depends on where you live. I'm sure in Gympie you could get away with repotting we couldn't in the southern states because of your warmer weather. As soon as the rain here stops I am going to repot two junipers but I won't do a hard root prune. A lot depends on after care as well as well as the species.

Re: winter repotting
Hi James, early winter is not such a good time to repot but later in the winter when the buds on the deciduous trees begin to swell is a very busy potting season. I notice you list liquidamber as a favorite species this is the time they are done.
