Neagari Shohin Elm - Need advice.

As the pot is not suitable (in fact I don't like it at all) and I will repot this little fellow in the Spring anyway, should I change the angle to make it higher (and perhaps more dramatic)?

Actual angle:


Proposed angle:

You need a round pot for that puppy, something with a bit more color too. Personally, I'd angle the opposite direction, and semi cascade it. But that's just me, cool little elm.

Yes, something around 5x10x10cm would be great (sorry about the metrics).
@sorce do you think it's possible to send one of your beauties to Brazil if I buy one? I mean all the fuss about packaging plus mail plus taxes and duties will be a pain, I guess...

Well, this one has gone a looooong way!

Thanks to @JudyB it is now a cascade, and it was the right decision.

It was repotted twice, and have been growing like...elms, of course!



In the summer it will be trimmed.

Awesome transformation. Great move to compress the base!

Drastic improvement. Looks great.

Great work, and vision. It is that I know you have not been in my garden, otherwise I would have know where you got inspired
