Thanks, I have put my location up now. The current pot size is an adequate size for the tree as it is, but I would like the tree to be bigger and thought a bigger pot would encourage growth. I’m not entirely sure what height the tree would end up, but I intend to carry on trimming the branches and making the tree denser and at the same time defining sections of it into neat clumps whilst keeping the general uprightness of the tree. Obviously this is a very long way off yet but as I say, I thought a spacious pot would encourage growth and would eventually help me end up with a tree with mature looking thick trunk etc. Thanks once again!
