Thank you Moshe, I should have given dimensions - pot is 16" wide, the tree is 17" tall from the rim.
Carp, thanks, I have been training it for - hmm let me see -
(scratches head...) about 1 month now, on and off...
I bought it in February, as a 'nearly finished' tree that hopefully could/would look good soon, so I would have something to look at when all my twigs go back in the ground to fatten up... according to the nursery label, it is 28 years old.
Regards,
