I'm also going to put it into the pot it is currently sitting in, though I may exchange it for the next size up as I thought it was larger than it is. I noticed a lot of roots at the soil surface, so it needs at least a little bit more soil on the top.

Now for the question. I'm wondering if staking the tree at a different angle would make it look better.

First, pulled a bit to center for a balanced appearance.
