I'm surprised there were no visible roots after 10 years in the small pot, why was this? I like the compact growth habit and I'm hoping to achieve something similar.

[@PotsTrowels]

I was surprised to about the roots, so hoping more will grow into the new compost. Martin

[@ronikarobledo4430]

What do you fertilize it with?

[@PotsTrowels]

Either a slow release fertiliser or blood, fish & bone. Just once a year as the tree starts into growth. Martin

[@paigeburton8995]

Do you get fruit off this tree

[@PotsTrowels]

Yes we get pears on it.

[@craigcarter1244]

After 12 years your reh-potting..??

[@PotsTrowels]

It was very potbound and needed a new lease of life.

[@craigcarter1244]

@@PotsTrowels I'm suprised it was still alive .....I thought they only last for about 5 years pal lol

[@beanhan4766]

2:25 failed. Nothing at the bottom of the pot please! That hole is sufficient and won’t clog. What you did here will cause root rot and eventually will kill the tree 😢

Thanks for your input, everyone does things differently I guess! -Sean
