The little one's caudex is nice and fat and the multiple stems coming out of the top looks great.
Mark, if this were mine I would cut the tap root at just below the two feeder roots that I can see in the photo. Also trim the feeder root to about 2 inches from the base. Dip the cut end into rooting hormone powder, including the feeder roots and 1/2 inch up the base. Plant in moist media in 5" pot spreading the feeder roots and bottom water the pot. Leave in bright shade away from direct sunlight for about 2 weeks. If the media should look and feel dry then you could water again. Gradually introduce the tree to direct sunlight for about a week, then full sun. Apply a liquid starter solution weekly for two weeks.
If you need further info or clarification, please do let me know...glad to help!
