G'day Rob...

Good job...very nice bonsai...

As suggested, the pot is too large...and, I do like your choice for a new pot...

Can you give us a size comparison? Most specifically...depth.

Looking forward to future reports...

Pat

Hello PatArizona hmmm Not sure about the depth of the pot..maybe 3-3 1/2 inches without the feet. I'm just guessing though.

Thanks eeiko321. The tree was a nice find, especially for a Japanese Juniper. I have a feeling that someone looked after this tree for several years before I got it. Japanese junipers do not grow upwards and do not have great branch placement on a tree that is only twelve inches with a relatively thick trunk. I was fortunate to find it.

Thanks Rob...

"...maybe 3-3 1/2 inches...".

That's the current pot? How about the new pot? Or, maybe a picture of the new pot next to the potted bonsai?

Hello Pat, yes, the current pot, I believe to be maybe 3 1/2 inches deep, probably by 8 inches or so long. However, I am guessing. The last pot I posted was an example of the style of pot I want to use. That pot would probably be too small. My nursery carries the pot I last posted in like 3 different sizes. Hopefully, this tree will lend itself to the middle size.

Thanks Singuyen...Funny thing.... during the middle of styling it. I sat back and thought, this is looking like crap, its just not coming out right. Then I calmed down and thought, wait, there was a pre plan that was very do able for this tree set forth in the work shop. There is no reason that this tree should not come out looking good. Then I went in with my new attitude and thats what came out.

Hey, Rob, I'm not sure why, but I missed this thread yesterday. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw your pics was "WOW". You really nailed it with that tree and your styling. I knew the tree had some good qualities that I honestly felt wouldn't be apparent for some time... you were able to really bring out the best in the tree after just one styling...great job. That's one to be proud of.
