We finally have winter here and most of the outside trees have dropped leaves and appear to have gone into dormant phase.?

Traditionally we say wait to repot, etc., until the buds start to pop out, which means in March work real fast. I recall a couple of people here saying you can repot in winter "if you know what you are doing".?

I would like to start now and repot in a relaxed schedule where there is time to look and think about it.?

What would I need to know?

I repot if possible from december to may. It is not that often I can start before march due to the soil beeing frozen.

Maybe you can repot junipers or pines, but I would never repot decidious trees before or during winter.

Someone I know who is well qualified re pots deciduous in autumn, but never conifers, she says that it does not work well. She has been doing this for some years now. So as always different views for the same things, I think it depends also on the climate weather and species.

Yes, maybe worth mention. I keep my trees protected in a greenhouse in winter. Every tree repotted will be moved into the frost free part of the greenhouse until spring. I have no experience in exposing newly repotted trees to sub zero temperatures.

I repot yearround, and offer nearly no protection to my trees.

Important to note: Tropicals and mediteranean species should be repotted when it is warm (enough), after the normal repotting window.

Junipers I repot now too, but they do seem to be a bit sluggish startingup. On the other hand, cuttings taken in fall normally strike in spring so it cannot be all that bad.

Regular deciduous that are repotted long after leaf drop will hardly respond to repotting until the spring push arrives. So they sit their with pruned roots until it gets warmer.

Since a few years I am repotting a part of my trees in late summer/early fall. These trials do lead me to believe this is a really good time to repot,?when leaves are turning color [assuming 4-6 weeks before frost], followed by budbreak in spring.
