I like how the bush in the lower picture is pruned.

Your potted plant: don't let it dry out or get soggy. Go ahead and plant it if in your location you are past freezes and serious frosts (e.g., if you would feel comfortable planting a rose bush that is not bare of growth). I would dig a 2' x 2' x 2' hole to loosen compacted soils. Remove all rocks larger than a golf ball. If the remaining soil is bad, mix in about 1/4 to no more than 1/2 the volume with a soil mix. Kellogg's Patio Mix is sold inexpensively and a good product. After you plant it, make a basin around the perimeter of the hole and then cover the whole ground area with at least 2 inches of mulch. Don't feed it for 2 weeks after planting. It will like whatever you are feeding your bananas, or rose food -- provided it is not the kind with systemic poisons!
