Help-Sandy Potting Soil Falling Away from Rootball


Hello,
 
I just purchased some native plants and three Quercus douglasii, blue oaks, are planted in narrow tapering plastic pots (about 4 x 12 inches) with very sandy soil that falls away from the rootball when I remove them from the pot.  Does anyone know of a technique to keep the soil from falling away from the roots?  I hate to have all those tiny root hairs torn away.
 
Thank you.
