Nicolas Steenhout Guest Posts: n/a	Re: [IBC] Question for the Taste Police Better than a white juniper in a blue container ;-) Seriously, don't see why not. How about trying the tree in the pot for a year, see if it works? I've had some surprising results that needed to be seen for a while before decided on.

Marty Guest Posts: n/a	Re: [IBC] Question for the Taste Police Depends upon how you stylize the tree. If it's cascade, it could be interesting. Anyway, you shouldn't have to ask the Taste Police. If we all had to depend upon someone else's taste, the bonsai world would be in a sad state.

Steven Wachs Guest Posts: n/a	Re: [IBC] Question for the Taste Police Hey you are the taste police, you decide if it looks good. however you are in a cold place you have to consider whether that pot can take extreme cold. Glazed pots tend to break sometimes if you do not protect them. from the sudden changes. An unglazed pot may hold up better.

Posts: 53	I HAVE a bluish-green juniper cascade in a matte white "orchid" pot. The cascade part looks good against the white background but the apex sort of disappears above all that white. I bought a darker replacement pot yesterday.

For me, a pure white pot would be a bit garish. The thing that would mitigate it somewhat would be if the glaze were crackled. I'm just thinking of the pure white surface as glaring too much. How big are the tree and proposed pot?
