My first tree (Chinese Elm) arrived complete with a broken pot. (smashed beyond repair). It is in a soil mix.
I have just slip potted it in an ordinary plant container for now. ( I haven't disturbed the root ball at all) It's without wiring and using cat litter. It seems pretty secure and healthy enough with new leaves appearing and no leaf drop after 2 weeks. I have ordered a new specialist pot which will arrive next week.
#1 Do I remove disturb it again from this temporary pot into the new one when it arrives or should I leave it until next spring and do a full re-pot then
#2 Can I still prune it a little whilst in this state or just let it grow out
#3 I would also like to wire it a little, what do you suggest (Yes/No)
#4 Can I feed it, now (its been 2 weeks since the courier disaster)
Please advise

P.S. I suppose I should mention, It will be kept outside and placed in a cold Greenhouse in the Winter.

I would think that I would probably leave it until next spring, as it has already had the roots disturbed once. It will not hurt to leave it. Yes if it is growing you can prune, just treat it as normal. Unless it is absolutely needed I never wire Chinese Elm. Yes you can start fertilising. Of course it should outside.
Hope that answers your questions. One other thing, did you complain to the sender to get the pot replaced?

Thanks for your reply.
All your suggestions pretty much make sense as its a bit late in the day to go tugging at roots and causing a major disturbance.
I guess I'll leave it as is until next year now and prune as we go along. I need to wire a few branches and remove maybe one or two to create a better shape
I informed the seller quite strongly as her packaging wasn't up to standard and the courier company doesn't have a good reputation. She offered me a full refund. I have now ended up with a FREE tree and I bought some Ryuga tools with the refund to kickstart my Tool kit. All I need do now is look after this tree. I have no inkling of rushing ahead and buying multiple trees until I see what can be done with this one first. If I end up with 4-5 nice specimens to embellish my small Japanese style pond area I'll be happy.

The image shows the extent of things so far. (slip pot)
The new (deeper) temporary planter (until next Spring)
Hopefully, it will survive. Doe's it look OK..for now?

Looks fine, glad you got a refund, more people should do it when things like this happen. Ryuga are excellent tools too, most of mine are Ryuga. I would put so it gets sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon for a while if you can. Just until it gets over the stress of being in the dark then root disturbance, and in a few weeks you can start trimming the extnsions.

No doubt about it. Leaving it until next year is the safest thing to do and it will give you time to observe and "make friends" with it.
