Did you just slip pot it ? I have one ,and i will need to do some root trimming this spring . Is october a good time , more or less ? I have no repotting experience with them .
The new pot suits that handsome tree , btw !

Hi Timothy, yes it was a very gentle slip pot. the new one has a lot more space so I feel it is OK. It was last repotted September before last and took a while to recover. I did some research and found they have the reputation of being a bit touchy so I advise more frequent repots and light root pruning as for timing early spring seems to be the best.

Great choice of pot.... gives the tree much more gravitas and class. Well chosen.

Great change, ric!
When I think of oaks, I think if majestic trees in open grass fields! I think you've nailed it.
Much more pleasing to the eyes than before, really well done.
Cheers
