I personally don't have one that size. Here is a site http://www.orientbonsai.com.au/pots.html they are in Melbourne.
I get some of my pots from them. Phone no. (03) 9469 5026. You can try the webb site They have the size you are looking for. Not sure if they will post it to you. If not, let me know I would be happy to get one for you and pot it to you.
Cheers

Wow!! Thanks Kirky - I appreciate your offer too.

I will call them and see how I get on.

Thanks again

Seeing the tree you are trying to find a pot for makes all the difference.

You need a shallow, elegant, stylish, round pot; not what I would call a drum pot at all. Shallow is important so it doesn't overpower the thin-ness of the trunk. Maybe one with nice legs rather than plain.

Could be hexagonal or octagonal as well.

Hi Grant,

I hadn't considered those options. I was told I would need a drum pot, and one approx 7-10cm deep being it is quite a tall tree. My experience with bonsai is still relatively minimal when it comes to pots and matching to trees etc.

Can you please give me a link for the site those pictures are from?

Thanks for your advice.
