Just been looking at a couple of peache trees I have grown from seed, they are about 6 years old now. and can't decide on a style or colour of pot for them, hoping someone might help me with some ideas

Hi, is it flowering or fruiting peach? I would go with a non-glazed shallow round pot for informal upright.
Cheers,
DK

They are a fruiting variety, had a tree pop up at my last house which I had growing near the vegie garden, it had lovley fruit and some sprouted in the vegie patch, of these I have kept these 2 as bonsai and have one growing in the garden

Hi Noramay, your trees are still pretty young if you really want to put them into a bonsai pot then it might be best to choose a larger size so you can continue growing them for a couple more years. My choice would be a glazed pot.

Thanks Craig, yes I plan on putting them in an oversized pot and letting them thicken up a lot more, but am getting a bit sick of all my trees being in black plastic pots, what colour pot would you suggest as I need to go on a shopping spree before I pot them up.

I feel for you witht he plastic pots. It is nice just to have some trees in Ceramic / Clay pots as the grow
I like blue pots actually
Cremes and greens go with most trees tho
