    I actually only repotted the tree because I wanted to use my two pound root hook… it was worth it!

    LOL Actually the tree hasn’t been repotted in three to four years. It was time.

    Peter,
    Nice tree, you need to fertilize more, though. Just Kidding!!! The tree looks exceptionally healthy, nice work; and congratulations on best in show.

    Scott
