since you asked...leave it. without the lowest branch, it's a long plain trunk

Partial defoliation today. The graft on the right side is strengthening, and will keep growing out past the canopy for a while.

I'm glad you kept it. I was just reading through the old comments and had to stop myself from replying to 14 years old comments lol.

Pruned and some light wiring over the winter.
It’s waking up and is on the slate for repotting this weekend.

Repotted today…breaking it loose from the pot.
Teasing out the roots and trimming back. I try to cut off everything on the bottom side of the nebari as well.
Testing for fit. I’m slowly raising it up with each repotting to expose the widening base.
Working in fresh soil, and done.
