Ok here it is. The leaves were thicker looking when i first got it. They are still green but now the leaves are curling up on the edges and feel much weaker.
Newt,
Thanks for all the info. But I really left all the roots i could to get it in that pot. I want to eventually get it in something a little smaller (and more traditional) but I know that probably would have killed it.
The two branches I removed were the two largest and made up about 1/2 of the foliage, but I think your right about it dying back to meet equilibrium. Hopefully it may just be dropping a few leaves. Speaking of which do you think it would help if I removed a few leaves?
And I really want to see flowers but I would much rather my tree settle comfortably in its pot than stress over producing flowers. When would be the ideal time to pinch the buds? And it already has a few very small ones.
That "awesome" root structire I mentioned is mostly buried for now. Thanks for the help everyone!!!
