How many growers trim roots when transplanting?

Not me! But I do shake them out and fluff them up.

MB,

A typical practice when transplanting is to cut back the foliage so as to reduce the demand on the roots to account for the root damage done during any transplanting.

I’ve seen pictures where the tap root is considered an apical meristem similar to the top of the plant. Just a stoned thought.
