Help me find the right shape pot for this microcarpa tiger bark

[ceriano]

The height is 17”, and Nebari 7”. Should I go with a round pot?

That is one sweet base, have you considered a short and chunky tree?

Wow now that’s cool. Did not come to my mind. I was thinking more along the line of shakan style.

@amcoffeegirl has some chunky willow leaf ficuses that might give you some ideas.

I like round pots, especially for trees early in development. Go for a round.

@ceriano I think the first one is pretty feasible for your tree.

A round colander!

In the ground!

I wouldn't worry about a pot right yet.

For a chop...I wouldn't stick it into a proper bonsai pot. You want to develop it. A shallower pot will slow the process.

So YOU'RE the rascal that got away with that one! Seriously, great find. I almost went for it and then chickened out.

Your pot choice will follow the style you end up with. This tree will need some time, and so will you. No rush...

I was thinking an oval training pot for now.

2 trees there?
I can't make sense of the pictures!

Meh....I wouldn't pay to ship a $10 pot, or buy one.

No it’s the same tree apparently. I saw it today on their Facebook

I was admiring that one. I have no more room in my tropical area. Good for you!

Haha no Erik’s hand probably. I was just referring to the style. My tree is a miniature compared to that one.
