Chele, the the trunk all looks healthy? What I do in the spring on my old trees, is I pull them put of the pot, and I cut off about 1/2 the root ball, sides and bottom. Then I cut the top by as much. I keep a good Y structure though. I then repot in same pot but new soil. I let them rest for a few weeks then I start to foliar feed. They seem to love it.

Yours already looks like it is cut back on top. No way it needs such a big rootball now for it doesn't have a canopy to support.
