She was in a 4” pot in 2013. I’ve pruned her twice heavily. She’s outgrowing her favorite spot And this pot. Seeking creative ideas. How have you taken the next step in a very similar situation?  
Thank you.

Gosh, thank you 😊

How do you have it so bushy?

Lol, I aggressively cut it back a couple of times because it got scorched from the sun. This photo is taken literally two years ago on 7/19/21.

I was keeping it outside, and I could not find a well suited spot for exposure to elements, so I brought it inside.

🤔 Hmm, maybe it’s time to cut it back again? Thank you for asking.

Thanks to everyone who liked or replied. Sam helped me realize what I want to do! I’m going to cut it back again.

I prefer a shrub 🪴 vs tree 🌳

I’ve reconsidering… I recently spotted this in a hotel. I still need to pot-up and find another suitable location.
