Lovely tree, as others have said.
Much advice to chew on too!

For me, the only shortcoming is the triangular crown...

Looking forward to updates as you continue your work on it.

Awesome, tree. Love it. I have been on the search for yamadoris to try and find some nice aged bent truncks in natives keep it up

They do shoot back on old wood.
What I find disturbing Anthony is the style has no been defined!. It is neither a slanting or up right style. I remember suggesting a deeper pot and a more up right position so the roots have room for development.

Cheers Pup

These pots would not suit your tree - the shapes are too crisp and hard - but the colours might give you some ideas.

The glazes are a cobalt/rutile glaze over a brown stoneware and a copper/rutile glaze over white/pale stoneware.

I've thought before that the harsh Australian light is not kind to glossy-glazed pots - calcium- and rutile-matt glazes often mottle well, and can get interesting when thick and thin.

You may find that a pot that is light on its feet can enliven the design of a tree, particularly when the tree is sinuous or finely textured. Good luck.

Hi Anthony, I would also like to know how this tree is doing? And thanks for providing the background info on this mel!
I liked the original angle that it was planted on in the first pic, although I noted the cultural advice that Pup gave about being more upright and planted deeper so the roots could develop etc.
Have you found a new pot for it?
Cheers, Dario.
