once you've figured out how easily this species backbuds (I don't expect any problems) try cutting one arm off the slingshot (most likely the smaller of the two) then cut the remaining one back to a length of just a few inches. Seal the cuts. At the nex transplant, tilt it 10-15 degrees toward the side where the branch was removed.

That will provide a start at getting movement and taper into the trunk.

Regards,

Matt
