Fuji Cherry ideas

This is a 6 year fuji cherry that was potted this year. I'm leaning informal style for this one. It's grown out well since the picture was taken. I'm hoping for some good ramification. What do you think.

Posts: 857	Is the fuji cherry a slow growing species? it seems that for a 6 year old, the trunk has little girth, was it grown out in a big pot or the ground? Personally, i would put this back in the ground for a couple/few more years next spring and let it develop. The tree has great potential, when ramification and trunk girth is gained it will be very nice __________________ In literary and art criticism there are two criteria, the political and the artistic....

I would not worry about ramification untill you get the trunk bulked up or chop the existing branches and regrow new branches that are in perportion. Or you could leave as is and enjoy the tree for its flowers and fruit. Depends on what you want to do with it. Newt __________________ Opportunity must not be lost while the gods smile. -Li Jing

I placed it in a large grow box (no ground available) and it took off and did much better, still not wild growth though, so IMHO it is a slow grower and the advice above is good! __________________ Ladybug
