Looks like you are having fun!

I'd cut off the top 1/3rd of the growth to promote the canopy spreading and I'd try and get it much wider and lower, so that the trunks look more powerful in proportion.

Also, next season, you might want to try and get it into a smaller pot?

Hi friend ,
Your suggestion is makes sense, but in my experience of planting , Serissa growth slow even in the warm spring and summer too, the foliage may help cut above the bottom of thick lush growth, perhaps not, but it health deteriorated, in shortly transplant time it should be relatively safe for a long time to observe, and then do the next step.
