So you cut a few inches from the dirt first. Then dig up and pot.

Or dig up and pot it then cut the trunk.

Cut the trunk first. It's generally best to leave them in the ground as long as possible through the whole process. Ideally, just the "finishing" - growing and training small branches would be done in the pot.


It's a cool hobby. You should look into it if you're interested. There used to be several forums dedicated to it, but I haven't visited them in a long time so I don't know if they're still active.
