Dwight, nice tree, I like it. I think the 2nd picture, maybe turned a little, makes a really nice front, nice deadwood but not as static as the last picture. The tree has lots of nice small branches, looks like it will be a styling dream. I have repotted mine twice now, removed about 1/2 of the old collected soil each time (the trees were collected in 75 and 95 or so). they are doing great. I would recommend that you work to get the old clay and stuff off over time, most of the folks I know in Texas are afraid to repot these, you have to take your time but they can produce pots full of roots when in good soil.
