This
linden had not been repotted since more than 15 years. While some will think
that this is reckless, it is not uncommon with professionals. I only
repot when it is really necessary. So now it was necessary - sort of.
Together with Andy we took off all the wire, edited the tree a little
and I had to cut it out of the pot with a reciprocating saw. Inside we
saw that this tree had a lot of roots, but that it could have stayed in
that pot for another ten years. Well we put it into the same pot again,
just slightly higher to expose the nebari better. and we used pure
pumice from IBUKI. Nothing added to it, since this is a very large tree
in a very large pot. It will keep moist enough even on really hot days.
And the pumice, when dry is so light I can now again carry the tree
alone if I have to. Then we added top soil as the pumice is not so
beautiful and will swim away at watering time.
