It should gain roughly half an inch trunk thickness per year of growing in a flower pot. This one grew from seed, is about 3 years old and it’s about 1.5 inches at the base of the trunk. If you’d like to put it back into that green bonsai pot I’d say a year would be good. The flip side is you will need to prune roots to fit in back into a small pot, the timing must be right, before spring and be careful not to cut too much root as it can stress the tree.

Ok, I'm definitely going to do this. I'll take a picture and send it your way once I get it into a different pot. I have a large one that's kind of flat, I think I might use that. Thanks so much for the help!

Oh perfect, yeah flat is much better to keep the roots in that shape, will make the task much easier later on when it’s time to back into a bonsai pot 🌲looking forward to seeing more 🤩
