Bald Cypress yamadori

[Barbells and bonsai]

Went to Wigerts nursery today and met Eric, very nice guy and gave me some great tips regarding yamadori BC. I took some pictures while I was there some of you may appreciate

Are those rectangles worth that much? I'm pretty sure I bought one in a bonsai auction

I have no idea, from what I hear Wigerts has competitive pricing. They had relatively basic and reasonably priced pots along with much more expensive/detailed pots from other countries.

My trees base measures 24”x24” so I found one that would work and cost $1000.00
This to me seems reasonable but when I told my friends they thought I was insane for spending that much for a pot. A friend sent me plans to build a bonsai ‘pot’ from treated plywood and it does seem like a fine temporary option.

Guess it all depends, the same guy who couldn’t believe I’d pay $1k for a pot just happily spent more on a roof rack for his car.

Hows that treated plywood pot look?

I think it would do a fine job functionally, if I end up with a collection I’ll start with those and buy nice pots for trees that need them

These pond liners from Lowe’s work great for big BC also.

Excellent option. Thanks for this, will definitely use for future trees.
