Robusta Juniper needs future pot
Hi, This is a robusta juniper, just styled and put into this large pot this spring. About 24 inches tall, with a 2 in. trunk and 3 in. base. The tree was in a good training pot with excellent free draining soil when I purchased it as a stock plant, so the root system was extremely fibrous. This tree will need a good pot in the future. Any suggestions ? I am also considering removing the top 6 inches of the tree to make a more compact bonsai, but I wuill lose what little taper I have. What would you do ? Thanks for your suggestions.

Hmmmm, for some reason my pictures are not resizing properly. Probably operator error.

Try again - usually this works so I don't have to test my pics.

Thanks, what do you think about shortening the tree by a bit? Do you think a round pot would be better ? Thanks for your suggestions.

I think it would look great in a drum pot and it looks a bit tall for the girth of the trunk. To me where the new leader starts should be the top...However, I really like the movement in the apex....So i would leave the heigth alone. Once all your foliage pads fill in, this is going to be magnificent!!!

Round drum, or better yet, a round informal bunjin-ish pot. Dale C. makes some terrific pots along these lines, with or without glaze.Check out the Bunjin pots at the bottom of the page:
http://internetbonsaiclub.org/index...&topic=18523.75 I'd think something like the round rough pot with the glazing or firing treatment he's given it, or the deep oval below it would work very well with this tree. |

Thanks for your suggestions rschafer and rockm, those are some exquisite pots. Can I ask, Why a bunjin-type pot ? Because of the informal style, or the height of the tree ? It seems that picking a pot is very difficult for me. I have a hard time "seeing" the tree in a new pot of any kind, maybe because I have looked at them (the trees) too long....
