Post subject:  A bot bound ELM?

I have a chinese elm I had for my birthday last year and it is what started off the craze!
It Isn't really pushing many buds at the moment although they are swelling, a few have opened but turned yellowy, the root ball is a solid mass and quite hard.
I was wondering if i should repot now into pure S.P. or leve it this season?
Will have pictures later of the extremely compact and rock hard root ball.
Think a repot is in order?

Soak the rootball first you may find it easier to deal with.

Repotted now. It was an import tree and was horribly clay like.

My bad :/ was my first tree and didn't want to repot first year.
Buds starting to swell more but the odd few that did pop before I reported are now yellow. Guessing that's the lost rooys not supplying water?

Buds looking a bit bigger but not swelling majorly. 8 days on what should I expect?
