Hi All,
Still contemplating a pot for this specimen. All you guru's out there that do virtual s please feel free to have a play. Looking at something dark I think not sure about shapes.

With all those curves the tree is very feminine. So you need a pot that will reflect that a round bag pot with a very understated glase.

If you go with an oval it needs cloud feet to show the feminine side of the tree, even an oval bag pot .

Cheers :) Pup

That could be a possibility if it were a bit shallower or longer it might just be the angle it is taken at.

That is a nice pot, now the question is when to buy the pot and when to I repot it. I think I will wait until after winter for this one. I really appreciate all the help you guys and others of this site provide. My wife thinks I am obsessed. I have been tinkering with bonsai for about 16-17 years now. Now I cant stop :lol:
