Sumo Olive all dressed up for a party!

[Adair M]

Or rather, a show!

Just finished potting into a “new” antique Chinese pot and moss.

 

[Micci]

Wow! Beautiful trunk! Love that moss too!

 

[Tentakelaertje]

Nice! It looks small, but knowing you and you associates it will probably be a texas shohin!

 

[just.wing.it]

Wow, it's really looking nice @Adair M.
That pot is great, is it black and brownish?

 

[Stan Kengai]

Looks great @Adair M Do you have a closeup of the pot?

@just.wing.it the pot looks like a namako (sea cucumber) glaze.

 

[Anthony]

No negative spaces Sifu ?
Good Day

Can’t wait to see this one up close. It’ll be a first for me to see an olive this big... same thing for the antique pot!

 

[Giga]

The one time fat is a compliment! Looks good

This one is not that big. It’s only about 10 inches tall.

Maybe you were thinking about this one:



Here is the one that’s going to the show. Photo
taken as I was potting it:

The photo's analysis doesn't permit a clear view... at least on my screen
The second one is really an impressive tree.
I have the same question like @Anthony has regarding empty spaces though.

 

[cmeg1]

Really diggin’ the moss too.Where do you cultivate it and where did you get the first piece?

 

[Cadillactaste]

@Adair M ... A warning please. Had to pick my jaw up off the ground. Those beastly bonsai just leave me speechless. How many does it take to repot something like that? Solo one would think a person would damage it trying.

Nice sumo too...

Nice sumo too...

It took three of us to repot the large olive! To work on the base, we tipped it up so that it was in about the same position as you see me with the smaller tree. And then held it in that position by using a strap hung from the ceiling.

? Beastly tree! This is something that I find intriguing. Manipulating without damaging the canapy structure would be surely a great bunch of team work.

On most trees you position them so that the trunk is parallel to the ground, and the branches hang down off the work table.

@Adair M ...You have me looking at Sumo now. Just when I think...I am satisfied with what I have...I find this slight itch for one.
