Thanks Geoff.
Pots are always dictated by the form, which might seem obvious but in some cases not. Here I find the smooth and elegant form with a thinner trunk, invites to a round pot with soft corners, and cloud feet elevating it.
Those soft curves help the image of the tree. I would prefer a medium to darker unglazed pot supporting the foliage colour. I add a picture below that would fit this type of tree. A pot I have used for another Juniper with darker foliage. Therefore the light reddish-brown clay is well balanced for that tree I think. It could be slightly smaller though.
Other possible pots maybe?
I add a few other options too to consider. The slap should be thinner and not so rough but as inspiration. I could see the tree stand on that in a slightly more upright position too.
The drum pot also will work well I think. Good colour to match needles, and the dots on the pot add that softness to the pot that will be in harmony with the tree. You might find other options with those characteristics supporting this one.
Prices are insane for sure. Have newer seen Shohin with price tags like that. 🙂
1.000.000 Yen / 7.600, – Euro for that guy. Where is my wallet? 😀
Hi Jon.
They need something different, and also maybe a little different arrangement of some sort. Always exciting to be challenged.
I will add some more photos one of the next few days with details.
This is most likely because we had a warmer and dryer period than usual. Especially spring was cold the reaction might be stronger. This make some try trees withdraw the green chlorophyll earlier to protect them from being exhausted.
Missed your question here Dom. Sure, we will catch up on that regularly. And a beginners tutorial will be on the list.
Thanks.
