You wont have any problem growing it in NJ. There are people on this forum that grow them in Michigan and people that grow them in southern California and Texas.

As for suggestions. What is it about this tree that you like?
 
i geuss i like it for the challenge. it looks ok when its full. sometimes, i feel you can work with what you have and make improvements to a tree and learn from them. iknow its not gonna win any awards at kokufu.
sure i can see many of the flaws,but ive got plenty too. now i just want to make it better, and enjoy the trip.

Layer the top part and sort out the roots, put in a larger flat tray and grow a new section...the top is too good to waste.
 
Not much happening in the bottom 2/3. The top looks good though:)
