Cut it. Tap root is not that much useful in the case of bonsai. In the case of trees growing in the ground it digs deep to get much needed moisture and also to anchor the tree to the ground to prevent it from falling over. For the repotting late winter is more ideal actually, when the tree is almost coming out of its dormant state. It will have enough time to be ready for active growth in the spring. Hope this helps.
Hey Jason! Love your videos and wisdom. Thank you for all of it. How long did this juniper grow inside the nursery pot? I pruned and wired my first tree (procumbens nana) last year. I noticed some new buds forming already! I still want to thicken the trunk considerably. Should I repot it into something as large as a 5 gallon? It is currently in a 1 gallon.
I don't know if you're still looking for an answer but generally its a good idea to gradually pot them up in increments, without ever letting them get root-bound
It drops to low 30s here in AZ, and mine do fine. You can also bring it under your patio if need be to protect it from frost. The color changes on the foliage, but that is natural. I freaked out thw first time that happened
@@meatsandwich7552 Thank you. I’m in Cincinnati, and it’s dips down to the teens, I bring it in to the garage when it hits the freezing temps. I’ve pretty much decided that one it goes below 40* it’s garage time for the night. Thank you for the feedback.👍🏻
@@Heritagius wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this. I am only a 2 year novice but still feels like 2 days because process is so slow. This is great information, I've copied and pasted directly into my Evernote Bonsai notebook. Thank you!
He doesn't want to complete bare root it. It could damage the tree. The tree as so many roots the work he did did not harm the roots, because the tree as so many.

Hi Jason, what type of soil mixture did you have in the training pot?
Thank you for that and all other videos!
Really helpful video. Two questions: what would you do if there WAS a large tap root. And should you always wait to spring to repot.?

Are the anchor wires really necessary? Seems a tree once potted into a bonsai pot stays well put without doing this step.
What temperature fahrenheit is to cold to leave my juniper outside? Thank you

Love this tree is there videos of the first stages on here ?
There is yes. Look up his video: "How to make a slant style Bonsai"
Jason, is repotting in spring a good rule for most species? Or are there other times of year you can repot?

When is it best time to repot a juniper after its first year in same pot after its first original shape and repot? Thank you in advance
Late winter is the good time to reply conifers.
Wow
Love the progression of this tree.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Any reason why u don't spray root ball or dunk it in water as a way to clean root ball, instead of tearing roots?
