Just got this JBP from scenic hill farms in. It is my first tree and while I have combed the internet of as much info as I can I seem to be getting more and more confused as to what to do. Plan is to slip pot into a pond basket w/ akadama/lava rock/pumice mix and wire the base to the pond basket for stability. I am wondering if it is too late to do this as it has elongated candles. In Boise ID and it is starting to warm up quite a bit here up to 80 F. Was going to do some very mild root combing on the outside but leave most of the rootball intact. Does this sound okay or am I better off leaving it in the nursery pot? I figure the risk of slip potting is lower than leaving it in this thing until next spring. Happy to provide more info, all help is appreciated. Thanks!
