Beautiful plant! Looks like you're doing a fine job with its care.

First thing I noticed is it could use a bit bigger of a pot. You can also stake it with some bamboo stakes or whatever you can find. Tie it to the stakes loosely with some soft material.

Welcome! Damian. In 'real life' this would become a huge tree so it will be happy in a bigger pot, as Lee Anne said.
I understand it might become a problem to move it in and out of the greenhouse in which case you can always prune it back. It is almost impossible to kill one of these!
Happy growing!
