If Angels in a pot, I would prolly leave it in that pot for winter, set it in another pot with a little potting medium after trimming the roots back a bit. That is how I keep mine thru winter. ( the ones I don't hack off for standards) then it will be a tree form for you.. ( strip off any thing along the trunk for a tree umbrella type form) this is what a brug grower taught me. She pots them" up" only if they are going to continue to grow under her lights, in the tree form. She does trim them up a bit, to get more growth on top. She saves the trimmings and starts new plants. Last Year, I just threw the root balls in a tub of potting mix, and threw some water in once a month. they are all growing now.. This year I will keep the tree forms I am hanging on to, and cutting the tops off of the ones I am sending away to people, and saving the bottoms for me. I may stick a few of the tall trunks into a pot of rooting medium and do like I did last year and root them before sending out.
