See now and be satisfied for before you is a broken pot. 
And a drain-hole screen.
Secure the screen, securely.
Tie-down wire for tying down.

I like the big one. Take that comment as you will.
Prune the roots. Gently.
Shave the reverse taper down. Shave it down man. Just shave it.

Better.

The tree. Tie it down.
Backfill, chopstick it in, fertilize and…. that is all.
I like this last pic as the front.
It’s mysterious. It makes you slightly annoyed that you can’t see the soil and you have to look around the side to see it. Insidious. Subversive. Iconoclastic.
And that’s the way it is.

Way to shake the paradigm. Also everything I have ever read says not to fertilize until a month after repotting. Do you do this on all species or just Ficus? Thanks.

I fertilize everything, except deciduous, when repotting. Let’s try logic, if it were true that new roots were damaged by fertilizer then we could never use it; the tree is always growing new roots.
Now, the reason you don’t fertilize deciduous after a repot is because you do that before the new growth in spring. If you fertilize at that time you’ll get longer internodes (which you don’t want) because fertilizer stimulates green growth. Fertilize them after the new growth has hardened off.
