Thanks, I like this guy a lot and think he has a good future. I think I've found a better pot for him, this was mainly a training pot. I was quite surprised at his first repotting that I was able to get him into a ceramic pot straight from a nursery pot, I had assumed I'd need a transition pot, but his roots reduced beautifully on the first trimming. Here's a shot showing where my major cut was, plus a couple of notes for reference, hopefully that will help folks "see" the transition between the two shots. My graphic program is being picky on font size - so I'll translate:

"prime" is the current primary branch on the right
"accent" is the low accent branch on the right

The new apex is hard to see in this photo, since it was a low branch that was brought forward and up after the trunk was chopped. What was great about this material was the plethora of low branches to work with.
