A few recent threads have spurred this one. Lots of viewpoints on root horticulture, and references to removing all the roots.

Here are the pictures and we will see what happens.
One thing to note is that there were a few very small new roots coming out already, so the timing of this looks to fall within Cynthia's guidelines.
