    There are many, many species of aralia around, although most of them are not used outdoors except in tropical areas. One that is native to North America, and is found in Texas, is A. spinosa, Devil's walking stick. http://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/all/aralia-spinosa/

    If this is the plant you have, it is considered a woody shrub, and you should be able to increase thickness and beauty by cutting all the way back to the soil. This is called rejuvenation pruning. I would recommend doing it gradually over a three year period.

    It is likely stressed from being repotted.
    Make sure the soil is damp but not soggy. Make sure the new pot had adequate drainage holes in it. Give it some recovery time with proper lighting.
    Your plant should recover with some time, they are generally quite easy to grow.

    Proper care and growing conditions will result in the older growth becoming woody on your plants.
    There is no real way to speed up or increase the trunks of your plants.
    Here are some links with more information on care.

    The full sun is likely just too much for this plant.

    Though a Japanese Aralia needs the warm temps you should plant in a full or partial shade location.

    This sounds like a fungal or bacterial issue. I recommend what I use. This remedy will take care of a number of issues. It is as follows:

    I know it says houseplants, but the care is generally the same in some ways.

    Japanese Aralia are hardy in zones 8-11.

    20 to 30 degrees F is the range for temperatures.

    A freeze to the ground may or may not also kill the roots. You can add a layer of mulch to help protect the plant.
