Yes going well, my only concern is that for developing stock in my opinion it is better to have the tree sitting lower in the pot to make care much easier ;)
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

G,day Izzy, these are quite hardy, and now is a good time to re pot so it can go lower also plant it more towards the middle, and lean it to the left.

As it sits now it looks very unstable like it is going to fall over.

Pulcheller has a very fissured bark.

Cheers Pup

Aesthetics mainly, and seeing as this is a competition, that will help in judgement, but also allows for more root growth before re potting.
