Styling or transplantation first?

Hello everybody.
This year came in my possession a very interesting tree (chinese juniper) Since this tree is nursery stock i would like to ask if the right would be to go into styling or transplanting first ?

Thanks in advance .

I'll vote for transplantation first. The extra foliage will help the tree recover. And, your foliage seems delicate and weeping enough that I don't think you are in danger of losing any inner branches due to crowding.
