how long to regrow fine root hairs?

Hello All -

After root pruning how long does it take for regrowth of fine root hairs? I root pruned several fig trees 1 week ago today and put them back in their containers with original soil. I ordered new soil - premix HP and premix bark that is scheduled to arrive today.

If over the weekend I remove the trees (fig trees) and rinse off the old soil with a hose and put them into the new soil are they likely to die because I have disturbed them and damaged new fine roots or have the new fine roots not yet grown?

Normally I wouldn't have done the root pruning without the new soil in hand but was worried the trees would break dormancy if I didn't do it last week. Should I leave them in their current containers?

Thanks and have a great day everyone!

Brian
