- Repotting and root-pruning a terribly rootbound Pomelo.
This tree was left out over Winter and completely defoliated. I didn't plan on keeping it, but figured this would make a good demonstration on how aggressively you can prune a tree at repotting time. If it survives, I will post follow up videos on its recovery. In the future, I may use this as a grafting tree.
Thanks for the demo. If you can, I’d love a citrus tree pruning tutorial one day!
You got it! When I prune my Meyer lemon, I'll make a video!
Well done! What a thick Mat! Wow!
It was ridiculous! Thank goodness I had that hori to saw through the rootbeard.
I recommend air pruning pots because it will prevent root bound.
Ha! There was not much potting mix left in the roots! Wow!
The poor thing was so rootbound!
Nailed it my friend
Thanks, Sir!
Thank you for the video. When doing this do you have to worry about a tap root at all? How did she bounce back?
No worry about a taproot as the plant had always been grown in a container, and has been rootpruned many times before. It is slowly bouncing back, new growth at.the base. I'll update soon.
Thanks for the reply. I look forward to the update.
@@dasledogg64 thanks for the reminder! I will do an update in the near future!

Where did you buy your pearlite?
Hello! I buy Perlite at a local grow store.
Many people who can't buy local, have had good luck with #3 Perlite on Amazon, Mother Earth brand.
Explain why you did not use a larger pot?
I have no room for a larger pot during the Winter. I will cut this plant back further and pot the surviving piece even smaller.
