New procumbens

[bonsairxmd]

Here is my new procumbens [the wicked stepchild of junipers ] from NEBG. Very happy with it. Thinking of a traditional 8-9" rectangular shaped pot with flaired sides.

Not sure if I should reduce enough of the root mass to get it into a bonsai pot this season or if I should put it in a training pot this spring and bonsai pot the next to reduce the root ball over two seasons. What do you think? Any pot recommendations? The tree is 16" tall, 20" wide at widest section, and trunk diameter is 1.25'' It's currently in 7" of soil in the nursery pot.

Thanks!

Looks super healthy and I like the trunk movement!

Nice tree! I would see what the root mass looks like then decide. I dont see why you could not put it in a deeper bonsai pot.

I don't have the kind of experience needed to make any kind of meaningful, constructive comment about the procumbens, but I will say with all honesty that I like the looks of it.

Now, to get to the cartoon, which I do feel qualified enough to comment on. That is certainly appropriate and appreciated.
