Intrigued by Dale's comment in the Old Chinese Pot thread, about bring a new "custom" pot for me to the MidAtlantic, I took the tree out of its pot today, and found excellent new feeder roots. This enabled me to reduce the above ground portion of the tap root, which I then coated with wound paste.
With a big part of the tap root gone, I was able to move it into this pot of Dale's. I am delighted with the increased lightness of the whole composition. The front shown is the front I intend to use; the final potting angle will be slightly more to the left. (I wanted to give more feeder roots a chance to develop.)
There is still a lot of tap root to be eliminated, but the foliage is all new and beginning to fill in.
Here's the tree this afternoon.
