Thank you for your reply. I tried not to get to wordy wit my post so I failed to mention I did have a week to gradually move her outside. Started off with just a little bit of the natural sunlight until full exposure ofer the course of 5 days. I did not trim the foilage prior to cutting the rootball. I have moved her back to her original home now and I thank you kindly for your advice. I'm working on your advice as we speak.
