I HAVE REDUCED THE LEAVES
HOW EVER THE BRANCES LOK A LLITTL LANKY AND MAYBE TOP HEAVY.
Some advice on trimming or reshapping bbranches would be 'yummy' help.

oops the spelling is bad heh\

I HAVE REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE LEAVES
HOWEVER THE BRANCHES LOOK A LITTLE LANKY AND MAYBE TOP HEAVY.

Ray, I agree it is a little lanky, G.robusta backbud strongly if healthy, I would feed it up a bit then prune heavily in mid spring repotting to give it some fresh soil. If you wanted you could remove all the branching & go back to a bare trunk, while at it I would shorten it by about half which will help with taper as it regrows. If like mine do & it buds down low keep some of them as sacrifices to help thickening of the lower half as well

In it natural environment they do tend to be rather lanky heh. Im concerned if i shorten the outer branches too much they could die back even if repotted (which I did 2012) and feed.
Im also wondering if the size of the pot should be bigger as in being deeper. as Iknow some natives prefer a deeper pot maybe as oppose to a shallow pot. what do you reckon.
cheers

When young they do tend to be lanky but as they age the canopy can get quite dense. I have seen alot of very old trees that are multitrunk from part way up & the canopies are amazing, lonog lanky branching but the amount makes up for that.

If it was mine I would give it as much sun as possible and a feed now, once new growth is pushing strongly cut the branching right back as far as you like, it has some nice branching already so I would try to keep some of that & then reassess once its back in full growth again. You will be surprised how much budding you will get. Given you repotted last spring it would be fine to leave it for a year & let the extra root drive growth even more. I like the pot & think its a good size for your tree, unless you want a thick trunk & thats another matter.
