Training Pot Rule of Thumb
Many things I've read suggest using a training pot as an intermediate step between the tree from growing in the earth or in a nursery pot and the tree's "final" bonsai pot. Since I've got some time before spring rolls around and I start root pruning, I'm doing some shopping for suitable pots for potential bonsai material I've collected over the past year and I'm wondering...
Is there a rule of thumb about how to size a training pot in comparison to the tree's root ball or nursery pot?
For example, I have a nice-sized juniper that's currently in a 1-gal. plastic nursery pot. Approximately what size training pot should I be looking for?
