This video is a complete guide discussing how to root prune fruit trees in containers. You will learn how to root prune trees, re-pot the tree with fresh potting mix, how to prune a tree after re-potting, and how to fertilize a tree to encourage recovery.

Root pruning trees in containers periodically is mandatory for the tree's health. Otherwise, the tree will become rootbound and eventually go into decline.
