Nice! How big is it? What are your plans for it?
24" tall in pot 20" wide 2" @ base trunk is 1 1/8" maybe 1 1/4. Not sure atm just enjoying it. Really no taper and it being a dwarf variety I'm not sure how it will layer. The branches all go up not out. I'm gonna try to air layer a smaller branch in a few monthes to see what happen, unless someone here can tell me if Sharpes Pygmy will layer. If it will layer there are several thick branches I would like to layer before layering the main trunk to change the style and get rid of what I think is a graft at the base although the graft is not bad if that is what it is. I didn't get any pics when it was without leaves Ill get em this winter and try to figure out what the next step is.

Nice!

Straighten the trunk if you can, it'll look even better.
Yeah I should have turn the pot a bit to show the trunk a little straighter. I may adjust it next time it pots.
