Thanks for all the great input, guys. Well, one thing I did learn from the previous owner was that although it has been kept outside, it has been unfortunately in a position that did not receive enough sunlight. I have acclimated to a much higher light area now.


That might explain the leggy growth at the top and bottom that I trimmed back. He also told me he cannot remember the last time it was repotted. I suspect that it can survive in the current condition until dormancy when a proper repot can be done, but I will have to live with a somewhat weird looking tree.

By the way, if/when I repot it can I trim the roots back and repot in the same container, since it really fits it's character, or should I change container types and move up in size?
