Informal spruce

Here is a Alb.Dwarf Spruce rough styling, I was thinking of maybe keeping this for a shohin and putting it into something besides a plastic pot. This was going to be my entry for the last fall instant styling contest. Thanks.

Given the nature of this species growth habit, shohin is a good choice at this stage. My preference of pot would be dark unglazed oval to highlight the bark colour and foliage.
