Do I feel dumb or what!!!!!

I repotted some of my trees 6 weeks ago and to my horror

I have just noticed my Japanese Box, I got from my grandaughter is back to front....Question, will I cause it some damage or shock if I repot it again the right way around

So long as you do not disturb or cut the roots you should be fine with good after care
No full sun and out of the wind

Thanks for that.

I will have a go on Sunday and see how it turns out. I do hope it doesn't die. sheba53

Should be fine if you care for it well.

Tell me about it, last week the northerly winds played havoc at our place. All the bowen mangoes fell from the tree.

My small trees weren't impressed at all but they are coming good now.

Very happy. sheba53

Thanks everyone for your help as I have successfully turned my tree round the right way and it even has some new shoots.

Thats classic Sheba!

I know that when re-potting I will normally go through all the motions and if it is a new pot I will choose the side I like best and then after some tying in and careful re-potting I find I have used the uglier side of the pot
