Re: Awampy
Depends 100% on your foreseen future for the tree really.
If you are trying to develop it into a mugh bigger/ thicker tree then best to keep it in a bigger pot for it to get a good head of steam up and expand.
If you are happy with it as it is and don't mind much slower rate of development then pop it in a pot.
When i first started i just liked having trees to look at and wasn't trying to develop anything in particular, so i had material like this in bonsai pots. Good way to start to understand your watering and care requirements too without having to worry about it being a crazy expensive tree

Re: Awampy
Agree 100%.
It is up to each grower to decide when to pot trees. Provided you recognise that a smaller bonsai pot will slow development you can do what you want.
The tree already has a reasonable trunk thickness but has no real branching and very little taper in the trunk. Some may not see any problem with that and pot up but others will want to spend more time in a grow pot to encourage taper and start better branches.
