Thanks, that's nice of you to offer. I may just take you up on that offer but I will have to rent a tall van to transport the tree so I'm not quite sure. Thanks again.
Just cut the dead bit off the top and it will fit in your car .
Sorry , English humour

Thanks for asking. It's doing just fine. I repotted into a homemade temp pot last spring and I made a concrete pedestal for it.

The pot is 24 x24in. About 40" from soil to top of foliage plus another 20" to top of deadwood. It's a little big to show or even move for that matter but I'm going to style when ready.Good angle change, very creative pot. Now root system very well known for future special pot.

You could style it...or not. I like the wild look of the foliage. It reminds me of the desert in the southwest.

Really remarkable tree, and the prettiest grow box I’ve ever seen. It will be awesome to see this thing get another styling and a ceramic pot.

Thomas, you have an amazing tree with great heritage! A true family heirloom and memento to your father.
I love that you are keeping it in the spirit of how it would look wild and natural.
Take care of it and keep it healthy. I would love to see it in a major show one day.

i think you’ve got the chops to handle the work yourself, but maybe a sort of consultation could help. I think collaboration is huge, and with this material, your skills, and the eye of a few other talented artists, this tree could be an award winner!

What an amazing tree and what a gift from your dad, when I first saw this tree I thought it was Bjorn's famous humongous Juniper.

Absolutely spectacular tree. Made even more so because of the story behind it. Would love to see where it's at now.

I completely agree with the consensus here. That is a world class tree with even bigger sentimental value. You can keep it alive in the current pot but If i were making the move to a 'proper' shallow bonsai pot, I (through fear of killing it myself) would enlist experienced help to ensure it's long term health
