No you can't. You have to be a member to see the pictures. Why can't you post them here?

That plant doesn't look too healthy. I recommend sunshine and no pruning until it has lots of leaves.

The appearance of the soil surface looks like it has been recently repotted, but pictures are deceiving. It would also help if you told us where you live, the USA has planning zones as extreme as the Florida Keys to Alaska and points between. How you are going to care for the tree is, in a large part, dependent on the answer to that question.

im in Massachusetts. to me it looks like its been potted for a while. its from eves garden gifts in Fl. sold by a grocery store up here. the soil looks like regular potting soil with a little sand and coarse soil mixed in.

It also looks too wet? In short, make sure of the health of the tree and the condition before doing anything with it.

The large rocks on the surface are probably to help keep it in the pot......common if a tree has been recently repotted. If that came from Florida, that was very recently pruned and needs time to recover. Let it grow! Honestly it'll probably end up a broom style but for now you have to keep it alive.....
