I'm also scheming a way to grow it into several different styles that will make it seem more Bonsai-like from the start. I'm thinking of starting it out as a cascade, and then as the trunk thickens, allowing it to become a semi-cascade, until I feel like it'll work as an informal upright a restyle it accordingly.

This is not a smart thing to do. It will be stressful on the tree and possibly kill it. Also, there will be future flaws from removed branches in the past.

If you plan on growing from seed, you should put it in a large pot with well draining soil and allow it to grow for about 5 years completely unrestricted. Then, the tree will be old enough to style.

To grow the seeds, you should wait until early spring.
