I was with my dad today and went to visit one of his oldest and dearest friends today. After chatting a bit in the back yard he asked me if i still play with the little trees and if i would like a few trees he had behind his garage that her bought about 5 or 6 years earlier. The first is a Boulevard Cypress and i only know this due to the marker tag in the pot. Not sure if it is! The tree is so root bound I have no idea what the nebari looks like or even the bace of the trunk due to the extreme growth of the surface roots. What is the best way to clear the surface roots and get to the base of the tree with minimal damage or stress?

Thanks in advance,

Angelo
