Big cedar repot
This is the biggest re-pot I have attempted alone, probably about 10 years since it was last re-potted it took hours to tidy up the roots. Finished just in time to avoid the hailstorm.

Re: Big cedar repot
Yes John, I agree it is a little early. I have had the tree for a few weeks and it is in poor condition, water was not penetrating the rootball.

Re: Big cedar repot
Yep. Nice!
Looks like there is a root crossing over in the last shot you posted ... of course if that is all I can find to critique I should just shut up and say "Well done, superb tree".
"Well done, superb tree".
It really is a beauty.

What a tree! Has the mysterious and eerie features that make cedars one of my favourite species.
