Now is the time to pot it,I would go for the black pot if you want to not spend any more money,not sure about the yellow one for an elm,suits a tree with flowers. :imo:

So did a repot today. I found a little pot at the local green shed that doesn't look too bad for a cheap one.
Kinda wish I offset it a little more to the left, will have to do that next time I repot it.
Also considering the viewing angle from the back...thoughts?
Moss job is a bit dodgy but hopefully it fills in a bit.

Hi Ben'
Yes this looks good. I like the style. The pot suits it. I think like you that it could have been planted a little more to the left but hey that gives you something to think about for next year.I still think that top photo shows the front.
Cheers dark1

Yeah next year once it has filled the pot a little more then I'll repot and offset it.
