What would happen? to elaborate, I'm referring to something like an Asimna that would usually have a large taproot that would make it difficult to grow in a container, or a mangosteen say. Would the early root-pruning make the plant able to survive well without a taproot or would that have the same effect as damaging the root when transplanting (which can be pretty bad for something like a pawpaw). I'm wondering because early rootpruning would work and safely remove a taproot from a plant that usually has very little lateral roots, that would make it far easier to containerize, which is what i have to do here.
