I'm on board Jon. I think there's a sweet spot to be found that helps both the plant and human there. Root pruning may be for excess growth? I don't want to make too much of leap. Anyway, I've been thinking like you there.Nice job on the up potting! Good save on the one that didn't quite hold together. I think it's smart to up pot in that condition these days. I used to wait until the roots completely filled the pot, now I wait less so that the roots find the meld line to the existing line more like what they're already in if that makes sense. I think when you up pot a dense root ball that pops right out and you can swing like a baseball bat it looks great and all that and it is....but I am believing lately that when the roots are all compacted like that it takes a couple days for them to loosen up and start expanding, whereas doing when you did it they just keep on growing with no hitch. See what I mean?
