Thanks Hawthorn.....Its funny you said that about the air layerering. My teacher suggested that air layering could be an option, providing if we couldn't adequetely hide the reverse taper. However, after the last repot. We both looked at it and said. Not too bad.......

I will probably never do an air layer on it though. I mean, the reverse taper is almost non existent now. If I ever want to go to a shallower pot, which would look better. I could always plant it so it mounds above the pot and if its ever shown, some moss at the base. Wouldn't mind getting some nebari, but hey, sometimes, you can't have it all lol. Anyway, knowing how it will not bud back on old wood, I am apprehensive to air layer it. I, as well, am not sure how they air layer. However, I will just be patient and let the tree do its thing. I am in no hurry and so far, my no hurry attitude has really benefitted this tree. Thanks again for the comment.
