One clue 'might ' be that several roots are trying to escape from the bottom drainage holes. I say 'might ' because it's not a sure thing by any means.

The best way is to simply slip the plant gently out of the container so that the root ball can be examined. Contrary to what some people seem to think, taking a plant from its container for minute does no harm whatsoever to the plant. I inspect plant roots before purchasing if I have any question or concerns. Always for any woody nursery plant.

A root bound plant will have a mass of encircling roots or the root volume will greatly exceed the soil volume.

Hi Ashley,

Aside from Rhizo's great advice, I have a question for you.

I see the black, plastic container is sitting inside a ceramic?pot.

Is the plastic container sitting directly inside the outer pot?
If so, when you water, it will accumulate and can cause root rot.

I find adding a couple pieces of sheet styrofoam works.
Of course, once the plastic pot is propped-up, it will stick out of the outer container. :)

BTW, very nice Scheff.. Toni

Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! Beautiful plant and pot!
