So, I've had this plant for about a year now and I've done a lot to it. I felt the tree was too high so I waited for a branch to grow out lower on the trunk and once it did I cut the top part of the trunk down (and made it a Jin) I wired the new leader straight up (with some movement of course) and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.. But my question(s) is that, should I cut back again to a secondary branch to allow the trunk to thicken up some more in a shorter amount of time? And repeat until it's thick as the original trunk? And should I cut the Jin off and cut it all the way down to the new trunk or just let it grow up beside it, like it is now? Thanks!!! Any critisism or opinions are appreciatively accepted.

First of all trunks don't thicken in pots very fast.
The fastest way is to put them in the ground for several years.

Thanks for the advice! But I'm happy wit how thick the trunk is already! I just wanted to know about thickening the new branch I have made as the main trunk of the tree. I read somewhere about cutting the branch back to a secondary and making it the new leader to thicken the branch more and more quickly and repeating until I get the desired thickness. Just wanted some more opinions on that. Appreciate the link and the feedback!

Sorry if my question was misunderstood and sorry about the last post idk why it was in a quote like that. Butim happy with the trunk. I just have to get the branch to be as thick as the trunk because it was just a branch that I wired straight up to be the new trunk of the tree.. If that makes sense. ;p

In that case dont cut or prune it untill it has the desired thickness.
By letting it grow freely for several seasons it will thicken. If you cut it back it will put energy in making side branches and wont get thicker.

Thanks a lot, chrisv!!
