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.
