REPOTTING
Given the fact that this tree has not been repotted for
quite some time and because we need a larger pot of
better quality, I opted for transplanting. Styling ar-
rangement was performed in the month of May, a
good month to conduct root work on wild olives. In
fact, the reduction in foliar mass makes it an ideal time
for this operation.
.
With the aide of a root saw, I
detach the root column from the
sides of the pot.
A little force is needed to remove the tree. After long year of cultivation, the pot is full of roots.
With the root hook, I loosen the entangled roots. We prune all roots in this region, leaving a flat root system.
