So, I've been ruminating about this tree and its future pot. There are several issues to contend with; 1) The tree is very large, easily 34" wide and 24" tall, 2) I think the style of the tree falls somewhere between a semi-cascade and a cascade. This tells me that the best pot should be shallower the a typical cascade pot, but still fairly deep. It should also be wider then a typical cascade pot to give the tree more stability. Does this all make sense? The nursery near me has an used, unglazed, brown, high quality Japanese pot, round with a hand twisted edge, maybe 17" wide by 10" deep (I'm guessing right now, and I wish I had a picture). Does this sound like a possible candidate? It would be a super pain getting the tree up to the nursery to see the tree and pot together, and the pot is going to cost several hundred dollars if I go for it. The nursery pot the tree is in now is 17" wide by about 14" deep, I think. Any other thoughts, recommendations, virts utilizing the mediocre pics I've provided would be great.
