Marian,

For the plants already growing with girdled roots, those roots can be cut
away without harming the tree or shrub. Quite an undertaking if you have
many, but for those specimens you dearly love it might be worth the effort.
I've done it in my yard after taking a course with an arborist.

Good luck,
Gail
