Being that you just recently repotted, it wouldn't be too risky to remove the tree and put it into a large planter for growth this summer out of doors. Then after doing research on trunk chops, it will be ready next spring for it.

Unfortunatly I can only leep it indoors, so I wonder should I still repoted in a growth pot (what grow pot size would you recommend? - I know overpoting is a common mistake. tree max diameter: just over 1 in, tree hight aprox 10 in)
But then in the other hand I've just repoted the tree yesterday so I'm actually wondering if is not to late to give it the chop and then repot it in a growing pot. Does the tree look healty enough to do it?
R is just me again trying to rush things up?

PS Thank uz guyz for the help I'm getting.
