Shohin bald cypress...

[Cadillactaste]

It is really nice tree. I like its leaf colors. To emphasize its colors, I would use violet or crimson pot. I am thinking oval pot will be good. Thanks for sharing this beautiful tree.

Thank you...Victor Harris mentioned a splash of turquoise...violet,or Crimson. This is it's fall colors. It's such a vibrant green during spring and summer, but thank you for your thought process and kind words.

You are welcome. I also love to look at the cypress in the early spring when the short young leaves are emerging with contrasting light and dark background.

Something along these lines Victor Harris was thinking.

seems a bit busy....

Possibly, but it was to be only 5x2... So a small pot.

@JudyB ...the glaze finishes @rockm chose were stunning. I especially liked the drum pot glaze. But I don't think he meant the color, but the pot shape.

Trying to get a feel for width of pot if I go with an oval. (Plan on having at least one in the mix.)

Thank you...now to take that measurement so I have a guideline to when I order an oval for repot day.

 

[Cadillactaste]

5" round...1" depth. Shades of greens...
Shame it has frog feet.

 

[Cadillactaste]

Minus frog feet. Lol cropped out.

 

[JudyB]

Not big enough, I think you need it to be wider.

9" oval more to your liking or to big?

I like the 9” oval, it looks like it fits. I love that cypress too it is not your standard upright and I like unusual things, I’m hoping to get a cypress one day. I want to collect one, so hopefully I can find some contacts near me who go collect. Thanks for sharing your tree, it looks awesome.

I meant the pot and the glaze. I've got my big bc in a Ron Lang pot with a goldish/yellow/greenish black glaze. Those combinations suit the species year round. Here's a bad picture of it.

I would definitely stay away from overly complicated, fussy pots for the species. Specifically, I think the feet on the pots you've chosen are too involved for the tree.

Better.

 

[Cadillactaste]

Better.

Thanks...just trying to get a feel for pot sizes to look into purchasing.

This might be just a teeny bit big, but it's too hard to tell with it sitting in the pot in the pot. Can you do a virt with it actually sitting in the pot properly?

You mean out in front of the pot it's in?
