Billy: Your instincts were good, even if your information was
not. It is not a good plan ever to plant in the center of a pot,
even a round one. It may be a bit more forgivable in a round pot,
but asymmetric balance looks more natural.

Are hexagonal and octagonal pots treated as round pots or oval
pots? If we treat them as round pots we put the tree in the
center. If we treat them as oval pots we put the tree off center
to the right or left.
I just potted up a Bucera spinosa (Bahamian Black Olive) in a hex
pot and treated it as oval.
