Rod; That virt is the ticket for that juniper! dayne probs solved. i will say though, that when you do that kind of shari up the length of the trunk, wrapped, spined and wired properly, get the trunk bender's out, it will bend like butter and therefor can be compressed further.

Jamie; For the tree as is in Rod's virt, i like the drum pot the best. How ever, in the last couple of years i have conformed to believing that a juni looks best when the live vein has been brushed and polished and the pot depicts these colors. For example's sake;

a bit like this ant?

used your example with pot and accent stand


jamie

speaking of drums pots, i do like the first couple of choices like you guys, but i am really liking the pot i used out of ants pic too! its a tough decision, but at least you can see the tree in these pots before deciding!


jamie

11 foot i know its a typo i think 11 inches will be a good size for this tree.

good luck hunting it down, i actually have a pot that size probably the right colour too.
i will measure it up for ya tomorrow and we might be able to sort something out!
