What should I do with my Ligustrum was created by Fujiwara

Posted 7 years 6 months ago #34146
So, just bought a neglected ligustrum for a good price. I noticed a thick root was cut when I pulled it out of the ground through where a screen should have been used (no drainage hole screen). Here's my dilemma: I want thicken the trunk on the tree, but should I get the tree healthy first before pruning the trees or roots? Anyone have experience with this tree? Will it grow quickly if I chop the trunk? It's a pretty tree, I don't want to kill it. I'm thinking of doing this technique: . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if it's the flowering variety (Japanese Privet).

Here are two photos of it:

Would you recommend me repotting it in the bonsai pot or a nursery pot?

I think I answered my own question by reading this: . Time to let it grow wild for a little bit before chopping.

So, I planted it in the ground, but it's getting full sun. Is there a rule to keep trees in the shade until healthy?
