Maple leaves.
Both pots have designs on all four sides. Dale

Dale,
Those are both beautiful pots. I'm particularly fond on the maple one. Aside from the pressed leaves, it's a very formal, masculine form in just about every way. What sort of tree do you envision in this pot? I don't know many Acer palmatum bonsai that could stand up to it. Would you display a pine in it, for example, using the maple leaves as a subtle contrast and setting of scene? I'm curious what you have in mind. With my best regards, Carl

Carl,
Once you go to a "theme-type" pot like this you pretty much locked into using that type tree in it. Anything else just doesn't work. I do lots of pine, ginkgo and maple pots and some "bark" design ( that you could use for anything!). They usually sell very fast at first show they go to. I'd obviously suggest a maple. Any type would do since there are several types around the sides. Here's a picture of a demo tree I did for the Pennsylvania bonsai club last spring. It's a "Bloodgood" Maple albeit much larger but the style should work. BTW,This tree started a few years earlier as a 7-9 foot tall nursery tree worked down 3 yrs into "demo size". How does that shape suit you in that pot. Sorry, Best example I can draw up from my postable pics. Sorry, no pics of MY trees in one of these. I can't afford to do that! :>), I have to sell them!

Hi Dale,
Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't looked closely enough to see that there are trident leaves there as well. I could see a trident going nicely in this pot. Indeed, the maple you showed is pretty powerful and thus works pretty well too, though the pot does seem to be on the deep side. See the attached virtual. I don't tend to think of this sort of strength when I think of A. palmatum! Best regards, Carl

Thanks for the virtual Carl. Indeed the two aren't a perfect match, but in reality that trees rootbase is much larger than the pot.
As for depth. I have no idea of your experience. I mentioned this was a 7-9 foot tall tree before b&b'd and then worked down for three years, That 3 years got it into a 10 gal cut down nursery container. Sometime try puting a tree like that in a 1 1/2" deep pot!! It won't ever go into a pot that shallow. To do that takes lots of time, or more probably grown shallow from a seedling in a shallow, restricted depth, bed. BTW, that pot show is about 3+" deep inside I think. The feet and bottom take up a bit of heigth. Regards, Dale
