Winter is the perfect time for contemplating spring tasks in the up and coming months for us bonsai nuts. Here is one of my Black Pines that have just undergone its first season of decandling aka "needle therapy". Still a couple of seasons to go to improve overall branch density.
I will be repotting this tree in spring and am looking for some pot suggestions. Any ideas or comments will be most welcomed.

Hi mwkoi
Nice pine ya have there. I would consider a shallower rectangle without such a large flared rim or a rounded rectangular or a scalloped corner rectangular.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Pot Suggestion for JBP
I like that tree 
For some reason I find it very appealing 
I would suggest something similar to the pot it's in maybe, but darker clay

Nice little tree mate! I think it would work well in a medium depth drum pot. As Nathan said an appealing little tree.

Re: Pot Suggestion for JBP
Lovely tree. I think the square edges of this pot need to go. Definitely a darker brown, deeper, with smoother edges.
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be like water, my friend.”
