I would like to transfer it from its current in-the-ground location to a large pot, for keeping until I decide on a final location. My questions are: Is this safe to do? I assume I need to carefully dig around the sapling to assure retaining its roots - yes? What potting medium would be the best for the potted temporary home? Is there a period of time I should let it settle into the pot before moving it again to the final location? Is there anything else that I need to be aware of / nervous about? Thanks, Donald |
