trees is on a distinguished road
My last experience with them was about 5 years ago at a nursery I was working at in Maryland. They grew a lot of their stock in bags and stopped the last year I was there due to the planting difficulties. I'd say during the year and 1/2 I was there, probably 1/2 of the trees we planted were in bags.

We did pretty much as you described to remove them. I vertical slit, grab & pull... arg! cut a few of those roots, pull... S---! chop a few more... pull... F---!... you get the picture.

Bottom line, from my experience anyway, they just aren't much fun to work with. I'd look in to doing pot-in-pot if I were you.
