So far it's a tough tree, Some of the huge surface roots are actually covering up the beautiful nebari this tree has. I'll make the decision next year when I repot. I really wish branches couple grow from the center of the stump, but oh well.
I'm going to focus on thickening the branches that are there by letting the tree grow wild, we will see what happens...
And letting it grow will help health..
You kinda want leaders growing off to side so you can let them thicken and transition to them. Otherwise you’d result in a pole straight trunk, which the majority of the time, you don’t want.
