Hi All,
I have a Murraya that I had intended to repot, but time eluded me.
It is mow Autumn. Would you risk repotting it now and rootpruning, or is the risk too great?
Thanks for your advice.

Re: Repotting Murraya
Don't know much about the Murraya, but found this page to be really useful for "should I repot now" type questions: https://www.ausbonsai.com.au/wiki/index. ... h_month%3Ftoohey wrote:Hi All,

Thanks Andrew,
I thought repotting Murraya was a spring job, but this page suggests it might be OK to do it now. Thanks

Re: Repotting Murraya
I would guess it depends on how cold it gets where you are in Sydney. If you can't keep it warm for a few weeks after repot then I would leave it until about October

Re: Repotting Murraya
If you want to do major root work, then I would leave till spring, but if only a light root prune and repot them I would do now.
Mine really only slows down slightly in winter, but where I am rarely gets below 5 ish and will for the next month will still be warm.
