Dwarf Umbrella Tree Recovering

Here is the tree as of 25/07/11

As you can see I have let it go a little wild. It has had a hard time since that first picture. First it was infected by aphids and just as it was recovering from that my 8 week old Ragdoll Kittens had a few bites of it.

Anyway my plan is to let it grow freely to put a little bit of size on the trunk and get healthy again. Then come midsummer I will go about drastically shortening it. From what I have read you can take these things back to a bare trunk and they will recover fine.
Wish me luck
