I went ahead and repotted this one. I will be keeping it as a pet. Note to Mr @Maloghurst ...it still shits on the carpet, so I will be keeping it chained outside the trailer. Just kidding of course, I appreciate everyone's input. With regard to ramification on this tree...I am assuming standard stuff, let it extend 4 or 5 nodes then cut back to one or two?
It's in a yamaaki pot. I tried to stick with the formula of pot size=2/3 height of tree, pot depth approximate width of trunk, a bit off center in oval pot, etc. I know it is potted a bit high...mounded up. This is because It was fairly root bound, and I had to hit it pretty hard with a root rake/hook and scissors to get it to fit. Next spring I Will reduce the roots further.
On another note....I bought another one nearly identical. They had a 20% off sale last week and got another one. It is a wee bit smaller, and I don't like the graft. It is my project, and I will be following the advice that has been given. I will post pics and seeking advice. Everyone has been very generous with advice so far, and I will have many more questions with regards to guidance on my project.
