Thanks Will! I did that for the first time last year when I brought it in and it really made a difference! It had gotten so big, it was taking over my room. I was nervous to do it, but I just started pruning away until it looked like a managed tree, not a wild bush. And it looked so nice in the center of all my other house plants, it gave them all a nice balance. You are right, it fit so much better in the house and stays a very healthy tree. I think I will just go ahead and clean it up good again and maybe just root some smaller 6 inch lengths from the trimmings. I have looked at air layering before and ... how did you know it is something I would rather not do!

Thanks again, Will!
Kristi
