I confess to not teasing the roots as much as normal. That was partly because I had not expected them to stink as they did, and partly because I thought it might not matter as I intend for all these trees to become dwarfed in pots outside my windows.
For comparison, I received a Cedar deodara so pot bound that the misshapen plastic needed to be cut away from the root ball with a stanley knife. That root ball was then exactly the shape of a misshapen pot. I found it impossible to tees the thick knotted roots, and they sounded like a wooden drum when hit. That C. deodara is now in a growth spurt.
Well, Glen, as nobody here has come up with a definitive answer to the problem of your Gingko’s brown leaves and smelly roots, I look forward to getting one from the Forestry Commission’s experts.
Apophthegm - a big word for a small thought. If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
