Very cool to see your article in an international bonsai magazine that heavily focused on wisteria. Then see you post your wisteria. Full circle moment

That pot fits that tree perfectly! Did you make that pot specific for that tree?

OK, keep the pot. Send me the tree.
Nice one.

Any tips for a first-year owner of Wisteria?

Let it grow and then cut it back and then do it again. This was a yard tree that got whacked from the two polar vortex 2014-2015. I dug it out and the only thing that sprouted was a cluster of 5 buds at base of the stump. That was in 2016 and those a the 5 buds. Seriously, it get cutback three times. Once mid-June, once mid-august and once late winter. International Bonsai magazine has this month issue about wisteria. Good stuff.

I had a convertible VW back about 1972. Apparently it had a bonsai pot of this style for the roof.

In Detroit, we refer to that as "200 mph" tape.

Well it seems I have an affection for duct tape. Still trying to figure this one out. My current theory that it was too thin to tolerate the aggressive root growth. I noticed late summer, so freezing had nothing to do with it. Fired to ^8
