Pinus Thunbergii
What do you think of the new pot for this Pinus Thunbergii ? It's a pot by John Pitt. The Yixing it was in was to big.

I don't know a whole lot about pines, but I have always been under the impression that they require rather deep pots . . . the one you have it in now looks awfully shallow.

Nice pot and good choice for this tree! But if i may give some advice: you should remove the old needles to let the light in to promote back budding. And to prevent the terminal buds to grow to much! Hans. |

You're right Hans. I haven't had time to do that yet

I prefer pines in rectangular containers...
I think the size of the second pot is right, but a bit too feminine |

Excellent marrige of tree and pot. Perfect proportion to my mind. It's also a nice blend of a feminine asthetic (curved wall oval, with understated feet, and just a touch of a detail band), but without a glaze to put it over the top. This little pine has a nice softly shaped crown, graceful moving trunk, and yet aged looking bark. It needed a pot like this to balance it's look. Great choice, it really gave it a spirit all it's own. Thanks for the view, it was a real pleasure to see.

Not all pines belong in a rectangle. You need to consider all the factors the tree presents. If the crown were more spikey and spaced out, or the trunk movement more beefy or abrupt in it's movement, I'd agree with you. But this one was a good choice to my mind given all it's characteristics. Don't worry Mike, not trying to change your mind or anything... Just showing a different point of view. |

I understand what you are saying, but I was also expressing my perspective when I was talking about what I thought. When I look at the tree in the round pot, it looks wobbly to me and not anchored to the ground. I think it is the thickness and roughness of the trunk that seems to be discordant. Maybe it is just the angle that the picture was taken, but the pot does not look to me like a good fit. Levon was asking for an opinion so I gave mine, he/she is free to pot the tree how he/she wishes, but those were just my thoughts  |

It's a he
 . Thank you all for your opions. I chose this oval pot, because the Moyogi Pine has a nice female movement. With this bark, maybe an older lady
