My two favorites as well.3 or 6.
Sharp angles create direct, visual pulls in directions...
I feel that distracts from "everything going on" in your multi-trunked canopy.

I'd be interested to hear what he has to say. I've been doing bonsai for as long as him and have talked with many bonsai nursery owners (a few are very close friends) Seen literally thousands of Catlin elms. Owned a few because of their small leaves and tight growth. Never heard of a "caitlin" elm. I have heard people mispronounce the name, though...

I found this guy on my shelf last night. It’s almost identical in size maybe a hair bigger than #6. It’s a nice cream color

Nice choice, the cream colour works far better than white, if you come across an antique cream that tends toward the grey tone, that would be a killer choice.

That has the look of some age, I think for creams that’s a good one. I haven’t decided one what pot yet. I may try making a pot in the shape of #6 with the color of #5 to see how it looks.

That could be a good combination, particularly in the fall!

We’ll see how much time I have. I have a few pots ahead to make first.
It depends on how the roots look. That will play into what pot I choose also

That would be my first option now, but if you take of the root ball and put it into the candidate pot, will be more accurate the perspective, and easy to judge it.
Cheers.

I appreciate everyone voting. Ultimately I was able to cut back the roots quite a bit. I think for me the tree has to go in a pot that you like and enjoy looking at. This combination does it for me.

@rockm Here's post by @Cadillactaste about a caitlin elm, not a catlin elm. @Cadillactaste, rockm doesn't seem to think there's such a thing as a caitlin elm, only Catlin elms. You'd have to read this thread but maybe you can shed some light. I'm having a busy week and I only know they're very slow to grow and have extremely tiny leaves.

Caitlin Elm from Jason Schley...
Can't believe I can't find a thread on this tree. Notice foliage pushing new growth today. Came I believe...sometime last year. Seen it on a news clip where they did an article on his bonsai nursery. Those roots pulled me in and I screenshot the clip and asked him about it. 6" from soil line.

Uh, ok...Catlin elm has small leaves and grows slowly. That's not a distinction. Ask why you can't find much info on Caitlin and tons of stuff on Catlin...@rockm Here's post by @Cadillactaste about a caitlin elm, not a catlin elm. @Cadillactaste, rockm doesn't seem to think there's such a thing as a caitlin elm, only Catlin elms.

Uh, just heard from cadillac (who really doesn't post here anymore) via PM that the Caitlin reference was a typo...@rockm Here's post by @Cadillactaste about a caitlin elm, not a catlin elm. @Cadillactaste, rockm doesn't seem to think there's such a thing as a caitlin elm, only Catlin elms.

It always is!
The typo HERE and ONE major "other" 'round the internet (at least) have spurred several discussions or debates.

This is a Catlin elm. The tree is from Southern California lineage. It is over 30 years old and grows slow.

@Cadillactaste pm'ed me and said she has a CATLIN elm, not a Caitlin elm as you said. You're confused!
If you still don't believe in catlin elms, here's a video of the Pacific Bonsai Museum repotting a famous catlin elm forest. The Pacific Bonsai Museum didn't make a misspelling!
