Would the position of the apex in relation to the pot be a concern? How
significant is the style of the tree?

Sorry about the blank.

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.

Simple.

By the book: If the hex or oct is longer in one direction
than in any of the others, treat as an oval. If all sides
are equal, treat as round.

In actuality, treat however the tree looks best.
