i've been trying to pick something not to like about the pot and tree combo, but im sorry ant... after much thought, i like the whole "glow" of the composition, i can see the bright golden sunshine smashin through the clouds on the tree and the cliff after a rain...

thats of course when you've styled it, so... when ya gunna do it

i was wondering how long it would take for you to come round. juniper conferta is very finicky so just letting it settle and waiting to find some time.

i have no qualms with it bod, i am actually looking forward to it. 40"s have been a blast! 50's i'll be blasting off!!!

Hey Ant.

I like the green pot over the red. Not sure why, but to me it's a bit more appealing.

Cheers

thanks mick me too!

Hi Ant,

heres my humble opinion, I am a firm believer that the pot needs to compliment the tree. Therefore the only problem I have with the pot is it takes attention from the tree.

With all this said that is your tree and it is your art of Bonsai you are expressing so do what you want, not what is the "norm"

And that is what it is all about. Sometimes we take ourselves a little to seriously.
