Yes. It went really well, I’m planning on styling it this year. I made a thread for it last year.

Thank you very much for the update!! How much of the roots did you prune? It was still coming out of the 50 gal nursery pot correct?
About 60-70%, I left a good portion untouched. Ryan had helped me through the Forum Q&A look for the right time to repot. The bud should be swollen and even extending a little bit. It was one of the last repot I did of the season that year.

@pj86 which q+a did you ask? I missed it but would like to watch it? I am planning to repot mine but I haven’t worked out when yet.

I believe there is no graft but rather a constricted(smooth)area where burlap was tied around the tree and also kept bark smooth and it has unfortunately created a large reverse taper problem with much larger trunk and rough bark just above it. Otherwise there is good possibility to develop interesting tree. If tree is reversed 180 degrees from above picture and foliage coming toward the viewer it would likely hide this very well. Also a nice rock or two well placed could do much to hide straight smooth area.
