Sorry the images are out of order, the outdoor image is the tree last year when i cut the roots and put it into the pot and wired it. This year I just removed the wire (I forgot the tree had wire on it, with all the plants I own, its easy to look over the wiring of a plant). I trimmed the foliage a little bit but now I'm going to fertilize it and leave it alone till I re-pot next year. I do like the variegated foliage.
