And yes, they may be a bit rootbouond but that's what I want. When you pot up the root system is much more fragile and likely to break apart when setting inground or in containers. But rootbound plants don't do that and ASAP set out new roots inground, where I want them to be.

Carolyn,
So when I transplant I should
not break apart the roots (rootball/rootplug)of rootbound transplants? Just leave them alone - from 2" pot to ground with as little disturbance as possible?
Thanks,
Joe
