It doesnt really have an incredible nebari, from what I can see. I am going to repot in a shallow wooden box, and spread the roots out. If there is no nebari, I may thread graft some saplings onto the base. The reason why I want to chop is because the shape of the trunk just doesnt excite me and doesnt do anything for me. I liked the girth of the bottom 1/3 of the tree which is why I bought it. Since i never did a chop, I was kind of anticipating growing this tree like that.
