Planning to repot this tree this week - I just need to find a suitable pot. I'm thinking a deep-ish square for now maybe . . . Any input?

deep-ish

I reckon if that was the shadow pot...
You need a shadow box!

I ended up with it in this oversized round pot for a few reasons:

1. Oversized, because I want it to grow vigorously - especially since I still plan to do some Grafting.
2. Round, because the front is still in flux by a few degrees, and this lets me easily compare and contemplate different angles.
3. This particular one because there is a chip in the rim at the back, so I got it for a very reasonable price

I did the repot at California Bonsai Studio so that Travis could help me test out a bunch of different pot options. I really liked the way it looked in a drum, so that may be a future option . . .

I think a round pot actually suits this tree... it just needs to be a bit smaller. Good job on the styling and re-pot.

Much appreciated. I agree about the round pot; I was surprised by how much I liked it in a drum about 2/3 the size of this "grow pot".

I love this tree. Great work

Nice job!

Finally got all the wire off and cut it back pretty hard. It's been growing very vigorously.



It just barely fits in my little photo box

Hey Colin, how about a close up of where you carved the stump. Looking good!

Thanks man. I used some splitters at the end and then peeled it with Jin pliers. I'll try to grab some shots tomorrow . . .
